How to get to know families? By talking with them! Asking simple questions at pick up and drop offs, "How was your weekend?" by asking simple questions can lead into important details about the childs life at home and different cultures.
At my old center it was a Christian non profit daycare, and we had a Hindu boy who came daily. All the children knew that he wasn't allowed to eat certain things due to his beliefs, and more often than not the other children were actually jealous that he got away with not eating all of the lunch! :-) By getting to know families and their beliefs you can then explain things to the other children if questions arise.
