Kensington Community Children's Centre

At Kensington Children's Community Co-operative, our vision is to respectfully entwine First Nations historical and contemporary knowledge systems into our everyday work. We are committed to embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives, knowledges, and cultures across our programs and practices, in ways that honour the diversity and richness of First Nations peoples.      We will continue to seek opportunities to walk as allies on matters of significance to First Nations people. We are dedicated to reaching out to First Nations people in our local community to build lasting, reciprocal, and meaningful relationships. We aim to create a culture where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples feel welcomed, respected and valued as members of our early learning community.      Through connection, active listening, and sharing dialogue, we will nurture the sharing of knowledge and perspectives. We recognise that true understanding is built in relationships, and that reconciliation requires ongoing commitment. We will ensure that First Peoples' voices and languages are actively heard and celebrated within our programs.     At KCCC, we stand against racism and bias in all its forms. We are committed to building a community of care, respect, and belonging. Through co-learning and co-teaching with children, families, and educators, we will deepen our collective understanding of the histories of the Land on which we work and play.      Our commitment to caring for country is central to our programs and philosophy. This will remain a key focus as we continue to grow and implement our Reconciliation Action Plan, making reconciliation a journey of togetherness.
