Our vision at Goodstart Blackmans Bay is to maintain and nurture respectful relationships between our early learning service and our wider Tasmanian community, including all Tasmanian Aboriginal peoples.
As an Early Learning community, we learn, connect and respectfully share knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultures, histories and experiences, to allow us to grow together.
We know that equality and equity is vital to the development of us all, and allows each child and adult to grow and succeed to their highest potential,
Relationships are key in early childhood and throughout our lives, and we want to build strong connections across our whole community.
