Kinda-Mindi Early Learning Centre

Kinda- Mindi Early Learning Centre’s vision is to continue to respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ perspectives throughout our centre and to ensure that fostering an enriched appreciation of First Nation Peoples is paramount. We strive to provide a respectful environment that is nurturing, fosters empathy and supports inclusiveness.   We acknowledge that respect comes from deepening our knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and histories. We will draw on the knowledge that has been shared with us by local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to support each other’s continued reconciliation journeys, and we will actively value and demonstrate respect for the diverse beliefs, cultures, languages and aspirations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.     We will continue to develop our understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures, rights and experiences, which will result in stronger relationships based on trust and respect and that are free of racism.   Our educators value and respect all families and will continue to extend on our own professional development; this will guide us on our ongoing reconciliation journey and ensure that we uphold the importance of embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives that value and respect.   We will continue to work towards developing meaningful relationships with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community to enhance our understanding and ensure that our curriculum respectfully embeds Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives.
