โ€œI’ll teach during the day, they teach in the home, and so to make a well-rounded kid, it has to be all of us together.โ€

Kimberly Wong wraps up the final episode of 2025 with a critical but often under considered DEIJ Hot Take in this episode โ€“ strategies to support students engaging with equity in the early years classrooms through parent engagement.

Kimberly explains how the inclusion of parents and personal stories can lay the groundwork for acceptance and trust, for both the student and the families, as they work their way through school. This offers a springboard for deeper engagement with complex discussions regarding representation and belonging that may arise.

Kimberly is an expert in her field and her lived classroom case studies might just inspire your next initiative.
