The Teaching Research Child Development Center (CDC) was awarded $250 to continue providing an inclusive and culturally and linguistically responsive environment for all children, families, CDC staff, University faculty, staff, students, and volunteers.  

The award money will be used to purchase new materials such as children's books in the four different languages spoken by children in the program.  In addition, the program will replace outdated materials such as dolls and play kitchen items to reflect authentic, non-stereotypical roles.

The children, families, and staff of the CDC wish to thank the University Diversity Committee at WOU for allocating grant funds toward achieving our goals of an inclusive and welcoming environment.
