At Keiki Edgewater, we strive to create and maintain a sense of community through inclusiveness and authentic connections with the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities. We are committed to providing opportunities for respectfully including First Nations peoples cultures and perspectives, promoting meaningful relationships with, and actively listening to the voices of, the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders and community members. Â Â Â Â We envision a centre where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Indigenous children see themselves reflected in the spaces, materials, and stories around them. Where non-Indigenous children, educators and families gain a deeper understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples cultures, contributions, and experiences. Our commitment is to nurture a community that fosters a future built on mutual respect and collaboration. Â Â Â Keiki Early Learning Edgewater strives to respectfully embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples perspectives within our programs and through authentic resources, promoting respectful learning about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and histories. Our journey of reconciliation is continuous, intentional, and rooted in the belief that we are all powerful agents of change who can help build a more just and inclusive future for generations to come.
