I'm tell them it is celebrating love. This is not a big deal.

Of course young kids can grasp the concept. There may even be kids with same-sex parents.

NP. Uhhhh. Have you been out of the DC bubble in a while? There are lots of crazy people who would pull their kid out of daycare because of something like this. I'm not one of those people, but based on what I see on Facebook from people in my hometown... there are definitely people who have a problem celebrating pride.

I am not a fan of making a big deal out of being LGBT as though it is something that makes people different / or special and that needs a big hoopla and dramatic outfits.

What happens why the kids ask the teachers what they are celebrating?

That would be completely fine by me. It even says to dress in rainbow or favorite color "if you would like to show your support" so it's not like it's mandatory for the kids.

Just say that pride is about being proud to be who you are. You don't have to get into the sexual orientation aspect with your little kids if it's not something you're comfortable with.

This may not be the daycare for you then. Just something to consider, not saying this meanly.

We talk to our kiddo about stuff like this frequently and he isn't shocked.

The book This Day in June is a great picture book about Pride, and it has a guide in the back with info and background about Pride for parents and caregivers:

Just got this email.

" (as a company) is celebrating PRIDE tomorrow by showing our colors! If you would like to show your support of PRIDE month, dress in Rainbow or your favorite color tomorrow, June 28th."

I don't know what to think of it. How to explain PRIDE to a 4 yo?
