No 'him' or 'her'; preschool fights gender bias. →
At the Egalia preschool based in Stockholm, Sweden, staff avoid using words like ‘him’ or ‘her’ and address the 33 kids as ‘friends’ rather than girls and boys.
From the color and placement of toys to the choice of books, every detail has been carefully planned to make sure the children don’t fall into gender stereotypes.
“Society expects girls to be girly, nice and pretty and boys to be manly, rough and outgoing,” says Jenny Johnsson, a 31-year-old teacher at the school. “Egalia gives them a fantastic opportunity to be whoever they want to be.”
Great article about an awesome Sweden-based preschool that aims to break down the gender binary and let kids be kids!
