We are committed reconciliation and will continue to build and maintain strong relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people that are built on trust and respect, and free of racism. We will continue to foster partnerships and collaborate with First Nations families and learn from their knowledges, to respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives within our service and to creating culturally safe spaces.  

We believe that families and the community are valued partners in the development of their children and in the decision making and running of our preschool. We are committed to building meaningful relationships and liaising with outside agencies to best support the needs of children and ensure that they understand the histories of First Nations peoples of Australia.
