Young Smarties Child Care Centre

At Young Smarties Child Care, our vision for reconciliation is to create a nurturing, inclusive, and connected community that values and respects Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, and cultures. We are committed to embedding reconciliation in every aspect of our service, from curriculum planning and daily routines to community partnerships and family engagement.   We aim to work respectfully and collaboratively with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families, Elders, and community members to ensure that children, educators, and families develop an understanding of Australias rich cultural heritages. By celebrating diversity of First Nations peoples, perspectives, and cultures,  and fostering mutual respect, we strive to support children in developing confident, culturally aware, and socially responsible identities.   Our vision is underpinned by a commitment to ongoing learning, reflection, and action. We recognise the importance of cultural safety for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and actively seek guidance and input to ensure our practices, policies, and programs honour their contributions and support reconciliation now and into the future.
