Manchester Road Early Learning Centre

Manchester Road Early Learning Service acknowledges and pays respect to the Traditional Owners within the local community, the Wurundjeri people. Manchester Road acknowledges Elders both past and present for their strong and ongoing connection to Land, Waters and Community.

The cultural diversity of the local community is valued; our vision for reconciliation is to create a culture that is committed to building meaningful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples within the local community and deepening our understanding of First Nations cultures and perspectives. It is our belief that in order to strive for genuine reconciliation, it is crucial to acknowledge the past hurts and injustices inflicted upon First Australians since colonisation and the continued impact today.

We aim to challenge the stereotypes and prejudices of the past and walk forward together whilst respecting, understanding and embracing the cultural diversity of First Nations peoples. The reconciliation journey that Manchester Road Early Learning Service is committed to will ensure that as a small community, we celebrate the diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures. As a service we strive to establish a welcoming, safe environment, that is supportive, inclusive and celebrates the cultures and diversity of the local community, particularly Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Together with children and families, we continue to work towards a positive and shared future built on strong relationships, where rights, interests and the well-being of First Nations peoples are celebrated and valued as we walk the journey of reconciliation together.
