Abstract
Digital technology and interactive media are increasingly popular tools that shape young children's perceptions. They can be used in developmentally appropriate ways to help young children learn about issues of race, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), especially considering that children's attitudes about people who are different from them begin to form at birth. One way in which digital programs for young children can offer significant benefit is by helping them develop the habit of inquiry and reflection that is the essence of cultural humility. A case study of how one organization is working to create DEI digital learning opportunities for young children designed to foster cultural humility is presented. Lessons learned from this innovative process of creating an early childhood curriculum focused on DEI are offered.
