Community Children Moonee Ponds

Community Children have a commitment to provide a rich and thriving work and learning culture that fosters the development of a deeply embedded understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ perspectives and histories. We will continue to provide an inclusive, responsive and respectful centre environment that supports every stage of the children’s learning and development and that supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to feel culturally safe and strong in our centre. Community Children wants to see fairness and respect at the heart of our nation’s Constitution and to ensure racial discrimination has no place in it. Community Children believes in and supports the Australian Declaration towards Reconciliation (released by Reconciliation Australia) through the five dimensions of reconciliation – historical acceptance; race relations; equality and equity; institutional integrity; and unity – outlined in Reconciliation Australia’s The State of Reconciliation in Australia report.   Our hope is for a united Australia, where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ heritages and continuing contributions are valued. Community Children will walk the journey of reconciliation with educators, children, families and the wider community.
