Guardian Childcare and Education Hornsby

Our vision for reconciliation is an Australia where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, cultures and histories are deeply respected, understood and celebrated. At Guardian Childcare & Education Hornsby, we acknowledge that we learn and play on the lands of the Dharug people and honour their enduring connection to Country. We are committed to fostering a learning community where children, educators and families develop respect for First Nations perspectives through meaningful learning experiences and authentic relationships with local Aboriginal communities. Guided by the principles of race relations, equality and equity, institutional integrity, unity and historical acceptance highlighted by Reconciliation Australia, we support children, families and educators to develop respect, understanding and shared responsibility for reconciliation as an ongoing journey for all Australians. By respectfully embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledges, cultures and voices in our daily practice, we strive to nurture children who grow with empathy, respect and a commitment to reconciliation.
