At Explorers Early Learning Mt Cottrell, we are committed to building a future where reconciliation is part of everything we do. We acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the First Peoples of Australia and value their continuing cultures, languages, histories and connections to Country. We believe every child should grow up in an environment where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples perspectives are respected, celebrated and included in everyday learning. We are committed to creating a culturally safe and welcoming service where children, families and educators learn together with respect, understanding and kindness. Through listening, learning and building genuine relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, we continue to grow our knowledge and strengthen our practices. Together, we inspire children to value the diversity of First Nations peoples and cultures, show respect for others and help build a more inclusive and reconciled Australia. We are committed to learning from and walking alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities with respect.
