Goodstart Pacific Pines

At Goodstart Early Learning Pacific Pines our vision for reconciliation is to continue to provide all children, especially First Nations children with equal and equitable opportunities to become capable researchers  and facilitators in their own ongoing learning. As early childhood educators we continue to ensure each child's agency is realised and their individual cultural contributions to their environments are respected, creating a sense of belonging, being and becoming. We are committed to meet the needs of our families and the wider community and respond to these needs by offering a program that promotes equality, equity, diversity and inclusion. As educators we will value and recognise our families as the first and most important carers and educators of their children, providing all children with the best possible start in life. At Goodstart Pacific Pines we acknowledge the Traditional Owners, Kumbamerri people who speak the traditional Yugambeh Language and seek to work collaboratively with them to develop, and encourage understanding in children and educators about the Traditional Custodians of the Land. Goodstart Pacific Pines acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, the First Peoples of Australians, whose lands, winds, waters we live and learn on, and pay tribute to their ancient and enduring cultures, which deepen and enrich the lives the lives of the community. Within our centre we will practice and promote a program that is inclusive, and that these practices are respectfully embedded as part of everyday curriculum.
