At Child's Play Tarneit West we respect and acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the Land on which our service is built. Our philosophy of; 'Every Child Matters', is at the forefront of everything we do towards reconciliation. We will work on providing an inclusive, culturally safe environment, so Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and all children feel a sense of belonging to the service. Â Â At Child's Play Tarneit West we are committed to building a better future for all Australians by respectfully learning local knowledge from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and respectfully including it into our educational programs. We will show respect to local First Nations communities as we work together to bridge the gap creating equal and equitable educational opportunities for learning. At Child's Play Tarneit West we believe reconciliation plays an important part in Australia's healing and strive to learn and teach the truth, allowing current and next generations to have a deeper understanding of this country, its true history, and its First Nations peoples. Â Â At Child's Play Tarneit West we are committed to continue learning alongside the children, as they discover the world around them, we will ensure there are enriching and culturally responsive learning experiences, projects, and play spaces available. Together we will grow. Â Â Â Â Â
