Abstract: The quality of services for our increasingly diverse families with infants and toddlers depends upon the comfort, confidence, and competence of the personnel available to provide these services. Colleges and universities must be able to produce graduates who possess the necessary sensitivity, knowledge, and skills to serve children and families of diverse backgrounds competently. The authors of this article describe four universities' approaches to educating students in teacher preparation programs to deliver culturally and linguistically responsive services.
