Heritage works to create a warm and inclusive family atmosphere where all educators and families feel inspired to work together in a genuine collaborative partnership focused on providing a dynamic learning environment to ensure each child realises their full potential.
Regardless of race, gender, age, ability, social status or family structure, our vision is to ensure each child is able to participate in all aspects of the program. We value the different gifts that each child brings to our community and embrace the many world cultures represented at Heritage. We celebrate our multicultural roots for the wealth of knowledge and understanding they bring to our community. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, identities, perspectives and connections to community and country are valued for their ways of being, knowing and doing. We are committed to building relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples within our community to help break down barriers and move forward together with equity and equality. We foster opportunities for First Nations and non-Indigenous children to explore and engage with the wider community, go outside the fence, and be hands-on with authentic learning on Country. We are a community-based centre committed to supporting other small communities and organisations. We understand the importance of connecting children with the natural world to develop their respect for sustainability and to maintain the health and beauty of our environment and the surrounding landscape. We believe in encouraging children to express themselves and their opinions and allow them to undertake experiences that develop self-reliance, resilience and self-esteem.
We understand that learning can happen every moment of every day, and it is our intention to “make the most of every moment".
