From the Paper:

"The Influence of Culture in Preschool: Affects on Childhood Development Preschool children are tasked with attempting to discover their place in the world, and delving into the ideas of society that are first evident in the preschool classroom. As these children enter preschool they bring with them the background of their cultures that include the cultural norms that have been taught to them, and their assurances that these norms exist everywhere about them. Yet, preschool teaches children in the modern world to comprehend that there are many cultures existing within society, and it is at this pivotal stage in life that children will begin to develop their theories on cultures that may affect them throughout their years. Education, therefore, can either provide a culturally accepting environment that embraces the diversity within the nation, or it can falter in understanding that every child must be considered from his or her own cultural viewpoint."
