Rasmussen College recognizes even the littlest of learners are valuable. Every year, to honor Week of the Young Child (WOYC), Rasmussen College chooses a theme, hosts events on campus and in the community, leads a webinar and chooses a children’s book to feature.

Today, classrooms are becoming as diverse as the world around us. Diverse with not only students of different races, genders and religions, but also different ideas, beliefs and dreams. Early childhood educators have a responsibility to teach and talk about diversity from all angles. From the prevalence and importance of this topic, Rasmussen College derived this year’s WOYC theme, Celebrating Our Youngest Learners: Honoring Diverse Families, and its featured book, A Chair For My Mother by Vera Williams. The book presents the story of Rosa, her mother and her grandmother who all lost their home and possessions to a fire. Together, they save money to buy a comfortable chair to enjoy together.
