Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Justice Statement
Curious and Kind Education recognizes that racism, bias and privilege exist in society today. We commit to creating an educational and social environment in which families of diverse backgrounds feel welcomed, respected, and valued. Diversity is defined as the broad spectrum of cultures, races, ethnicities, language speakers, genders, sexual orientations, religions and creeds, socioeconomic backgrounds, and abilities that together make up our communities, country, and world. Programs are open to families of all histories, backgrounds, genders, identities and abilities. Curious and Kind Education does not discriminate based on race, sex, gender identity, gender preference, nationality, religion, or abelness.
Curious and Kind Education acknowledges that we gather on the lands and territories of the Apalachee, Calusa, Timucua, and Tocobago tribes, as well as the Seminole Tribe of Florida and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida. As we know, many indigenous people were forced to leave land resulting in loss of life and culture. This acknowledgement demonstrates a commitment to ensuring that history is neither forgotten nor repeated.

We further believe that the purpose of education is to make a kinder more just sustainable world for all. Join us in being curious and kind!
