Jigsaw Early Learning Centre

At Jigsaw Early Learning, our vision for reconciliation is grounded in the creation of a culturally safe and inclusive environment where respectful relationships and a deep understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures, and histories are embedded in all we do. We recognise the significance of reconciliation as a shared journey; one that involves truth-telling, critical reflection, and active commitment to positive change across our learning community. 

We acknowledge the diverse and continuing connections that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have with Country, and we are committed to honouring and celebrating this through our learning environments, practices, and relationships. We believe that reconciliation means walking together with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in respectful, genuine, and meaningful ways, centered on listening, learning, and partnership. 

Through our educational programs, we seek to respectfully embed First Nations perspectives so that all children engage with the rich diversity, resilience, and strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledges and cultures. Our educators are committed to ongoing learning and un-learning to ensure we approach this work with cultural humility and integrity. 

Reconciliation at Jigsaw Early Learning is not a single action or event; it is an ongoing process of building trust, mutual respect, and equity. We are committed to nurturing strong, reciprocal relationships with local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities, and to supporting children to grow up in a future where histories are acknowledged, voices are heard, and cultural identity is celebrated.
