The challenge for programs is to establish systems and procedures that take the cultural and linguistic contexts of the children into account. 

Once in place, these classroom materials should be reviewed on an ongoing basis to ensure that the classrooms reflect all enrolled children without stereotyping.

 Programs are encouraged to seek information from parents, family members, and knowledgeable members of the community for their input in equipping classrooms to reflect cultures and languages in respectful ways.

With this in mind, the developmentally, culturally, and linguistically appropriate environment mirrors the ideas, values, attitudes, and cultures of the children it serves.
