Coromandel Valley Kindergarten

Coromandel Valley Kindergarten recognises that we are situated on Kaurna Land, and we are committed to reconciliation through building and encouraging respectful and genuine relationships within our environment and with the local First Nations community. In doing so, we commit to cultivating and embedding respect for the world’s longest surviving cultures.

We will continue to actively acknowledge and respect the histories, the cultures and the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, recognising that First Nations peoples are Traditional Custodians of the Land. We recognise the impact of past and present colonial injustices relating to Lands, cultures, languages and families and the strength and resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the face of these injustices.

Through our early years educational programs, we are committed to providing opportunities for people of all cultures in our community to work and learn together to strengthen an understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, cultures, and values and to develop mutual respect. We will continue to foster opportunities to connect with, and actively listen to, Elders and Traditional Custodians so that  First Nations cultures, knowledge and perspectives can be respectfully shared with children, families and educators, within a learning environment that is culturally safe, supportive and inclusive.
