At Uniting Dove Cottage Child Early Learning, we are working to respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures and perspectives through educational program and practices that acknowledge, respect and develop children’s, educators’ and families’ awareness and understanding of First Nations peoples’ histories, cultures, and perspectives. We seek meaningful, respectful partnerships with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, welcoming their unique perspectives. As a team, we actively consider societal and systemic inequities and inequalities that continue to impact Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities, and consider our role as allies to provide a service founded in the values of equity, equality, dignity, and respect.
