Meet the Curators

Our curators are all educators who help parents explain social, emotional, and cultural topics to children using simple, child-friendly language. They pose questions (e.g., frequently asked questions) that they may have heard in classrooms about culture. They suggest ways for parents to extend learning opportunities about emotions, social interactions (e.g., the social edge) and/or culture at home (e.g., cultural celebrations). They may also suggest children’s books (e.g., children’s books) and other resources that allow for parents to have meaningful conversations with their children.
