Nondiscrimination Policy

Partners In Learning  does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, age, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, sex, marital status, disability, or status as a U.S. veteran.

Partners In Learning  is an organization that welcomes and encourages diversity in its population and programs. All families are welcome regardless of race, religion, cultural heritage, political beliefs, sexual orientation, marital status, or differing ability.

Appreciation of diversity is immersed in anti-bias curriculum in daily planning, issues addressed, tolerance of others, class meetings, and involvement with families to share their culture. Dolls, books, posters, and food also provide the children with a multicultural, anti-bias perspective, but it is the daily discussions, activities, and experiences that make a program diverse. Multicultural materials are incorporated when appropriate within the curriculum so it fits in naturally with what we are doing rather than standing out as “different.” Diversity issues related to culture, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, ability, and gender are addressed during curriculum planning and implementation. The natural and timely inclusion of multicultural materials and activities provide children with a meaningful and realistic experience. Providing a multicultural and diverse environment is best met by enrolling children from many different countries, different ethnic backgrounds, different socio-economic levels, a variety of ages, and children with special needs.
