Only About Children Neutral Bay

Through our Reconciliation Action Plan, Only About Children Neutral Bay is committed to creating a culturally safe, inclusive, and respectful learning environment where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives, histories, cultures, and ways of knowing, being, and doing are meaningfully embedded in our everyday practice.   

We believe reconciliation begins in early childhood through education, respectful relationships, and meaningful action. By providing children and families with authentic opportunities to engage with First Nations people's cultures, stories, languages, and histories, we aim to foster understanding, empathy, respect, and a strong sense of inclusion.   

Our team is committed to ongoing reflection, learning, and collaboration to strengthen our cultural knowledge and ensure our practices are authentic, intentional, and responsive to the community. We recognise the importance of building genuine relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, particularly within our local community, and value opportunities to learn alongside Elders, families, and community members.   

We are committed to empowering children to grow as respectful, compassionate, and socially aware individuals who understand the importance of reconciliation, equity, and cultural respect.  

 Our vision is for reconciliation to be more than a commitment - it is an ongoing responsibility to respectfully support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, honour the richness and strength of First Nations cultures, strengthen authentic relationships with community, and ensure our daily practices contribute to meaningful reconciliation and lasting positive change.
