Together we will develop and implement a culturally focused curriculum and resources that draw upon local Indigenous worldviews. The locally developed curriculum relies on input from parents, community members and knowledge keepers, and is accepted and used more meaningfully by Early Childhood professionals. We will discuss how we implement this in our Early Childhood Education centres.
