Armadillo Child Care Centre

At Armadillo Early Learning Service, our vision for reconciliation is to foster a culture of understanding, respect, and unity among all individuals, with a particular focus on bridging the gap between First Nations communites and non-Indigenous communities. We believe that reconciliation is about acknowledging and addressing the historical injustices faced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, while also promoting a future where equality, cultural diversity, and social harmony thrive.  Through our commitment to reconciliation, we aim to create an inclusive learning environment that embraces Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, languages, and traditions. We strive to embed Indigenous perspectives and knowledge into our curriculum, ensuring that children develop a deep appreciation for the rich heritages and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander  peoples.  We are dedicated to building strong relationships with First Nations peoples within our local  community, Elders, and organisations, actively seeking their guidance and collaboration. By working together, we aim to create meaningful opportunities for cultural exchange, mutual learning, and healing.  Reconciliation at Armadillo Early Learning Service, means actively challenging and dismantling systemic barriers that hinder the full participation and empowerment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and families. We are committed to providing equitable access to quality education, resources, and support services, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive and succeed.  In summary, our vision for reconciliation at Armadillo Early Learning Service is to create an inclusive and culturally responsive environment that promotes understanding, respect, and equality between First Nations and non-Indigenous people. We are dedicated to embedding Indige First Nations perspectives, building strong relationships, and addressing systemic barriers to create a brighter future for all children and families. As we move forward, we strive to create an environment at Armadillo Early Learning Service that embraces diversity, fosters understanding, and promotes reconciliation. We commit to working towards reconciliation, promoting cultural understanding, and creating an inclusive environment that celebrates the rich heritage of the Yirrganydji People.
