Kynd Montessori values Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ heritage, as well as the ground on which it stands, Darug Land. As educators, we focus on the importance of caring for the Land and acknowledging the Darug people who have done so before us and continue to do now.
Our goal is for all children to be able to participate in high-quality early childhood education. We want all children to feel like they belong in a community that is equal, equitable, welcoming to everyone, and respectful of Australia’s cultural diversity.
