Northern Rivers Family Day Care acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the Land on which we live, learn, and work. We pay our respects to the Bundjalung Nation and recognise the ongoing deep spiritual and cultural connections that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the land, waterways and community.
Our vision for reconciliation is for all people walk together with respect, equity, and understanding—a future where everyone is supported to thrive and reach their full potential.
We are committed to deepening our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures, identities, and perspectives. We strive to build genuine, respectful relationships with local First Nations communities.
Through our Family Day Care services, we promote inclusive practices that are meaningful, reflective, and grounded in truth, respect, and cultural understanding.
We acknowledge and respect families and communities as children’s first and most important teachers. Together, we support the wellbeing, learning, and success of all Jarjums.
As Early Childhood Educators, we are dedicated to nurturing every child, walking beside them as they grow—knowing they are the future leaders of our shared journey.
