Glasgow City Council said it is the first local authority in Scotland toproduce materials for under-fives.
Two years ago the council produced an anti-racist curriculum pack forprimary schools.
The new pack will be sent to the council's 126 early years centres andthe city's 88 private and voluntary partnership nurseries.
Myra Struthers, head of Thornlaw Nursery School in Arden, Glasgow,developed the pack with Mary Garry, head of Sighthill Nursery. MsStruthers is currently on secondment to the council as a pre-fivecurriculum development officer.
She said, 'We decided that because the children are so young, we wouldneed the parents on board as well if we were going to make any headway,because they help form children's attitudes.'
