VISION FOR RECONCILIATION

We at Prestons Early Education and Care Centre value and recognise the work and teachings of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities throughout Australia.

To us, reconciliation is about building respectful relationships with non-Indigenous and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. We believe in partnerships and the power of educators, children, and families coming together to build a community of learners. We acknowledge the Darug people as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the Land on which our Centre stands and deepening our understanding of their history and perspectives.

We at Prestons Early Education and Care Centre are committed to meaningfully engaging with children, families, councils, and the wider community to deepen our  relationships between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous Australians. We promote forgiveness, healing, love, and trust and aim to work together in harmony towards reconciliation. Our Philosophy values cultural responsiveness and respect for people of all cultural backgrounds, especially Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians  and the First Peoples of Australia.

We at Prestons Early Education and Care Centre continue to reflect on our daily practices to ensure they reflect our vision of working together and acknowledging and respecting the rights of the Custodians of the Land.

Prestons Early Education and Care are committed to building our knowledge and supporting and strengthening our curriculum to further develop children’s identities and cultural awareness respectfully.

Prestons Early Education and Care will endeavour to sustain RAP actions embedded in the daily practices. By involving the staff to explore issues of fairness, justice, equity, and equality, we work to develop a greater understanding of how to support children and families, leading to a better understanding of reconciliation guided by RAP actions and respectful practices.
