About the Centre/Service We at Kunawaa Preschool would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we are gathered and pay our respects to their Elders both past and present. We, the educators, believe that all children have the right to be respected for who they are (Being) and are entitled to a high quality program, in a welcoming environment that is safe, warm and happy; an environment that allows them to develop their sense of Belonging. LO1 – Identity- Children have a strong sense of identity. Children belong to a family – we acknowledge the children’s heritage, culture and customs and that family is a child’s primary influence and is the most significant relationship the child will have in its early years. Through respect for this, we hold families as our primary partners within this centre. Through this partnership we are all working towards the best outcomes for the child. Children belong to the wider community, which can play an important role in helping the child to develop into who they become. We believe it is important for the children to develop an awareness of their local community and develop an understanding and respect for the variety of cultures that make up our community and especially an understanding of our traditional land owners from the Aboriginal Community of Wamba Wamba/Wemba Wemba. We welcome the community into our service to help develop the children’s awareness and how they can become active members. LO2 – Community – Children are connected and contribute to their world.
