Where they appear, the comments sections expand on the practice examples presented in chart cells above them. Many of the comments speak of cultural factors to consider when determining what practices to use. The cultural dimension, important for any group, is particularly significant with infants and toddlers. In their first three years of life, children are learning who they are and where they belong.

Achieving harmony between program and home comes about through care that is respectful and responsive to each family’s cultural preferences for their child, negotiated within the best practices framework.
