Friendship Square Child Care Centre

Our vision for reconciliation is to create a welcoming, respectful and inclusive environment where all children, families and team members are valued for their unique identities. Honouring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and perspectives, we are committed to building strong, authentic relationships and working together with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the wider community in the spirit of truth, respect and unity.  

Guided by the Reggio Emilia approach, we see every child as capable, competent and as a strong contributor to our shared learning. We strive to nurture understanding, celebrate diversity, and further embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures, and knowledge into our daily practice for the benefit of every child and our whole community in a rich and authentic way.  

We will recognise the deep wisdom and ongoing contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and honor their role as the first storytellers and Custodians of this Land. We are committed to listening, learning and partnering with local First Nations community members to ensure children experience connection to Country, language, and culture each day. Through our actions we hope to support a future built on respect, equity and meaningful relationships for generations to come.
