Reconciliation Action Plan
Honouring Culture, Connecting Hearts
Contributing to the National Reconciliation Movement
Family
The child, represented by the star, rests at the heart of the family. Surrounded by love, care and support, the child begins the kindy journey with their family beside them. Together, they stay connected through each stage, building a shared sense of belonging, confidence and security along the way.
Culture
The culture symbol recognises culture as a vital part of the child’s journey. Placed at the end of the songline, it shows that culture is always present. Inspired by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art symbols, the motif reflects connection, identity and belonging throughout the kindy journey.
Community
The family rests at the centre of the motif, surrounded by the wider community. It reflects the belief that it takes a community to raise a child. Together, families and communities provide care, encouragement and support, helping children feel safe and supported at every stage of the kindy journey.
Trust
The trust motif combines strength and softness to represent a secure foundation. It reflects the trust shared between children, families, educators and the department. These relationships offer confidence, stability and support, helping children feel safe throughout every stage of the kindy journey.
Bringing Children Together Through Inclusive Education at Smart Tots.
The heart of everything we do
Our Commitment
At Smart Tots Early Learning, the safety, wellbeing and best interests of every child are at the heart of everything we do. Every decision we make, every interaction we share and every environment we create is guided by one important question:“Is this in the best interests of the child?"
We are committed to providing a child-safe environment where every child is protected from harm, respected as an individual, listened to and encouraged to have a voice in matters that affect them. Child safety is more than a responsibility or compliance requirement. It is part of who we are.
