Our vision at Goodstart Early Learning Alfredton is to actively engage with reconciliation on both a personal and professional level, creating the conditions that support First Nations social justice, equality and equity. Through this vision, we are laying the foundations to grow future generations that value and recognise both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and heritages as proud parts of a shared identity. We acknowledge the links that First Nations peoples have with both the ancient histories and contemporary contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia through their Lands on which our early learning environments have been created. We are committed to building partnerships based on trust, respect and recognise both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures as enduring, living cultures and we respect and value the cultural insights that we learn about as we establish strong links between our service and the children, their families and our communities with whom we work. On a foundation of equity, equality, integrity and respect, we create high quality early learning experiences for all children. We commit to reconciliation between First Nations peoples and other Australians and aim to help support positive outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in education and employment.
