Tolerance connotes patience, forbearance, and impartiality, as well as open-mindedness. In early childhood, possessing tolerance would refer to children's burgeoning awareness of themselves in relation to others, and the capability to accept appearance and behavior different from one's own. But is teaching tolerance, additionally considered the ability to care and have empathy for others, enough? Perhaps it is more appropriate to teach preschool children tolerance in conjunction with social justice, the principles and habits of mind that guide individuals to actively treat others with fairness, respect, and responsibility ("Social justice," n.d.). This article maintains that: (1) the capability to get along with others in a multicultural community is an essential life skill that must be explicitly taught in school (Stevens & Charles, 2005); (2) teaching tolerance and social justice is best initiated when children are young (Paley and the Teaching Tolerance Project, 1998); (3) tolerance and social justice should be included in preschool and school curricula; and (4) art is a perfect vehicle for teaching tolerance and social justice. Although it is difficult to know where tolerance ends and social justice begins, social justice incorporates action and not just talk. For preschoolers, this would mean actively demonstrating tolerance and acceptance of others during everyday activities. (Contains 2 tables.)
