Condon Kids ELC

Condon Kids ELC’s vision for reconciliation reflects a shared partnership between children, families, educators, and the local community, where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories, languages, and cultures are respected, valued, and embedded in everyday experiences. We strive to nurture a community that acknowledges and understands Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, histories and cultures. In collaboration with the local First Nations communities, our educators will actively listen, engage in meaningful dialogue, and challenge their knowledge to support reconciliation. By respectfully embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives into our policies, practices, and pedagogy, we contribute to a united and inclusive Australia.  We provide meaningful opportunities for children to engage with First Nations cultures through embedded cultural resources, language, and traditions, fostering a natural and ongoing connection to the world’s oldest living cultures. We recognise the right of all children to develop a positive self-identity and understand our responsibility in shaping informed, respectful, and empowered future generations. By embedding First Nations perspectives in our environments, we cultivate a culture of mutual respect and understanding, encouraging children to see the world through multiple lenses. Our service remains dedicated to providing authentic opportunities for children to experience and learn from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures, and knowledge. Through everyday practice, we foster an inclusive community that embraces and celebrates First Nations heritage, ensuring a reconciled future for all.
