We aim to help children (and their grown ups) feel a sense of belonging and feel valued for who they are when they come to Tinkergarten. We also aim to help grown-ups help their kids become even more curious and capable learners and community-builders who genuinely, actively value themselves and all people.

Inspired by the work of Emily Style and Dr. Rudine Sims Bishop, we do this by developing a curriculum that provides “mirrors” in which kids see themselves reflected, as well as “windows” in which kids can learn about people who are different from them. Here are a few ways we accomplish that:

👉 Each season, as our Learning Team develops our curriculum of play lessons, we search for resources and inspiration that highlight diverse and underrepresented voices, identities and cultures.

👉 Our play lessons are designed to offer many entry points to allow learners of different ages, abilities, strengths and needs to access and learn in the program.

👉 Our weekly children’s book read-alouds feature stories that are written from varied perspectives and including a diverse range of characters and authors/illustrators.

👉 We continue to learn and highlight Native History in our classes, events and activities to help all of us remember the unique stories of the land on which we gather and learn.
