Diversity refers to our differences such as culture, beliefs, values, views and life experiences. The concept of diversity is to accept, respect and embrace our differences. When people with these differences unite and share the same group or organization we see a diverse environment. Working in a childcare setting, we have the potential to work with an abundance of diversity. This can be very rewarding but can also pose challenges. Positively, we have the opportunity to promote the sense of individuality, sense of pride and belonging by providing a safe and nurturing environment. Discussing each other’s differences is a great way to learn and become aware of the differences in the world. One example of promoting diversity is to display the word “welcome” on the door in all first languages spoken in that classroom or even learning how to say hello in each language. The challenges are learning how ensure equality and eliminate discrimination. Introducing children at an early age to diversity will have an impact on their acceptance of others who are different from them. Diversity can also come in the form of race, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities and political beliefs.…

Diversity is about recognizing and valuing those differences. Diversity therefore consists of visible and non-visible factors, which include personal characteristics such as background, culture, personality and work-style in addition to the characteristics that are protected under discrimination legislation in terms of race, disability, gender, religion and belief, sexual orientation and age.

First, organizational dimensions start at the functional level. Second, external dimensions are based from experience. Third, are the internal dimensions, which are based on personal issues (p. 745). An organizational dimension of diversity includes a person’s functional level, field of work, area or department of work; seniority status in the workplace, union affiliation, and management status. In summary, a person’s organizational dimension of diversity is based from their work experience and seniority of their respective career field. The external dimensions of diversity are a person’s geographic location, income, personal habits, leisure activities, religion, knowledge, education, work experience, appearance, parental status, and marital status. This can go further in detail with how an individual person was raised as a child. The internal dimensions of diversity are based from a person’s age, sexual orientation, physical abilities, ethnic group, and race.…
