Transmitting Values to Children
Transmitting the Values of Respect and Tolerance to Children: A Commitment at the “Les Mousquetaires” Nursery
Cultural diversity in Luxembourg is an inestimable wealth. At the crèche les Mousquetaires, we firmly believe in the importance of instilling in children the values of respect, tolerance and citizenship from a very young age. This fundamental learning is built throughout life, and we are determined to guide our little musketeers along this path.
1. Be a Model
Children learn by imitation. It is therefore essential that parents, educators, and all relevant adults set an example by respecting each person's differences, whether cultural, social, or physical.
2. Promote Dialogue
Creating a climate of trust where children feel free to express their opinions, even if they differ from ours, is essential for their development.
3. Diversity Education
As part of our multilingual projects, the "Les Mousquetaires" nursery highlights different cultures through books, films, music, and cultural exchanges. We introduce children to the richness of the world's cultures while highlighting the commonalities that we all share.
4. Fight against stereotypes
We are committed to deconstructing stereotypes by providing concrete examples and encouraging curiosity in children.
