Equity in Action: Tips for School-Age Child Care Providers

Creating a safe, welcoming space where children learn and thrive, and where families feel supported, is a hallmark of high-quality school-age child care. This resource, Equity in Action: Tips for School-Age Child Care Providers, is designed to build the capacity of school-age child care providers in supporting equity and inclusion. Recognizing that staff and administrators are already taking many steps to be inclusive and equitable in their programs, NCASE created this tip sheet to promote reflection on current practices and to offer additional ideas for pursuing equity in working with children, families, and staff.

NCASE has also developed a tip sheet for parents and caregivers, Equity in Action: Tips for Parents and Caregivers, focused on helping them engage with their children around equity and inclusion in the near term and long term.
