The article presents an ethnographical narrative about children’s participation in the cultural and ceremonial life in Mexico and Bali, in order to examine commonalities and differences between the two cultures. The importance of considering cultural diversity in early childhood education and of including cultural values in activities for the children is stressed, as well as the need for these programmes to be rooted in the family and community. These aspects are related to the need to allow children to develop a clear personal identity, to value cultural diversity, and to solve problems related to differences between them.
