Get help from families/educators from different cultures to write down key phrases and information about the service in their language which may help members of the community.
Have a few parents/educators that will assist you to converse with others in their language as an interpreter for you.
Have important information translated throughout the service including policies and procedures.
Employ staff that speak different languages.
Have language dictionaries available to use if necessary for example: English to Mandarin dictionary.

There are a lot of support services that are available within the community that families can turn to during hard times. Even though you may not be aware of a families circumstances it's important to provide community information for families where they could go for support. Also, there may be community gatherings or events that families may be interested in attending.
