Somali families

This digital story is about Somali refugee families attending a small not-for-profit preschool (kindy) in Brisbane. Their local community has few economic resources and is among the poorest in Australia. Children who attend the service come from culturally and linguistically diverse families, including families from Somalia. In the digital story two Somali educators talk about the importance of being culturally responsive – being respectful of a family’s beliefs and cultural practices, taking time to build trust before starting to introduce the family to early intervention.
