Anti-Bias and Anti-Racism

CCR’s Anti Racism Statement

“Children are deeply harmed by the inequities of race and class that they experience in our early learning system. Child Care Resources is dedicated to eliminating institutional racism within our organization and our community”

Respect for Diversity

We honor diversity of all kinds and recognize that we are stronger when we are diverse. We strive to be culturally sensitive and to advocate for equity and inclusion in all the work that we do.

Child Care Resources’ definition of diversity is broad and includes, but not limited to race, ethnic background, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and differing physical conditions.

Cultural Competence is having a set of values, behaviors, attitudes, and practices that enable people to work effectively across cultures. It is the ability to honor and respect beliefs, languages, communication styles, and behaviors of all people receiving services. It is the process that is ongoing, full of energy, and is developing all the time and requires time commitment.
