Armidale and District Family Day Care Ltd (AFDC) recognises the rich cultures, values and histories of the First Nations Peoples of Australia and aims to acknowledge their contributions and respectfully embed their perspectives into our curriculum. Our vision for reconciliation is to foster mutual respect, understanding and collaboration with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, thereby empowering a stronger, more inclusive community and bridging the gap between First Nations People and non-Indigenous people. AFDC will strive to embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into our practices, promoting cultural responsiveness and inclusive early and middle childhood education. AFDC acknowledges past injustices and we are committed to truth-telling, healing, and advocacy for equity and social justice for all children and families. We acknowledge our responsibility to embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into our pedagogy.
