Kidzland Preschool Kindergarten and Day Nursery

Our vision for reconciliation at Ignite Macquire Fields will begin with our acknowledgment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Original Owners and Custodians of what is now called Australia. Within the service, we demonstrate our commitment to reconciliation by showing respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, embedding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ perspectives through in daily practices with the children, further respecting the Land and diversity around us. 

As our service philosophy states "At Ignite Macquire Fields we believe that family input can assist us in ensuring our curriculums and service policies are inclusive and supportive of each child. It is through collaborative, open, and welcomed partnerships with families that we can support and embrace their diversity and the diversity of the wider community whilst also paying respects to the Traditional Custodians of the Land - the Dharawal peoples". 

Through our RAP, and service philosophy, we will build respectful relationships with First Nations community members and be actively working towards embedding more direct and authentic daily practices that respectfully reflect upon Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s’ cultures, histories and beliefs. As a service, we are increasing our knowledge and awareness of the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and the Traditional Custodians.
