Based on the Indigenous rights of the child, Aboriginal children and families will be supported to reach their fullest potential through a strength-based holistic and culturally responsive approach that honours the whole child and places them at the centre of the “Circle of Support” to ensure they are included within their childcare, preschool and community care settings.
ASCD's purpose is to enable children who require extra supports to be included in child care settings, preschool, before/after school and community care settings. Such inclusion nurtures a child’s self-esteem, identity, and allows the children to participate in settings that will support their development along with their peers. Having a child care setting where children can get the supports they need in order to be included allows them to grow and learn in a safe and nurturing environment.
