A teacher's caring and kind attitude is one factor which effectively contributes to an inclusive ethos and culture in a school. The teacher shows kindness from the moment of arrival, where parents, families, caregivers and child are greeted using their names and are warmly welcomed into the school. Teachers show care by being sensitive to families diversity and valuing each child's individual uniqueness.

Another factor which effectively contributes to an inclusive ethos is respectful relationships between teacher and teacher; teacher and parents / families; teacher and child; and child with child. Parents know their child best, and when teachers have regular conversations with them, the teacher gain valuable insights of who the child is and can plan activities to further the child's learning and development.
