DEI

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee at the Cooperative Nursery School at the Unitarian Society of Germantown in Philadelphia is committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful, safe, and equitable school community. 

The Committee strives to:

• Provide resources and guidance to the CNS community that promote an environment where teachers, kids, and families celebrate the diversity of the community, its families, and traditions. It also serves to support a culture where bias, oppression, and systemic inequalities are addressed and understood.

• Listen to and respond to parent, teacher, and student concerns related to marginalization, exclusion, or insensitive behavior, and work collaboratively to identify constructive solutions.

• Examine school structures, policies, and practices to increase equitable representation and access, ensuring the school community reflects and engages with the full diversity of the community’s families, backgrounds, and identities.
