Philosophy with Purpose: Why Reggio Shapes Our Practice
In this important episode, we’re addressing a topic that’s at the forefront of every parent and educator’s mind, child safety and protection in early learning settings.
With rising concerns in the media and community, we want to offer clarity and reassurance by sharing the practical steps we take every day to keep children safe, supported, and protected in our care. From child protection policies and staff training to creating safe, nurturing environments and building strong relationships with families, we’ll walk you through how safety is embedded in everything we do.
Because protecting children isn’t just a responsibility, it’s our commitment.
We acknowledge this land that we meet on today is the traditional lands for the Kaurna people and that we respect their spiritual relationship with their country.We also acknowledge the Kaurna people as the custodians of the Adelaide region and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today.We also pay respects to the cultural authority of Aboriginal people visiting/attending from other areas of South Australia/Australia.
