Providing An Ideal Environment For Our Children: A Personal View.

Abstract

Recently I had the opportunity to visit Tarumbal Kindergarten/Preschool in Rockhampton. It is a kindergarten that enrols young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. A few of the children that attend the centre are related and this makes it feel like a big family. I observed and interacted with the children once a week for four weeks. In that short time the children grew to like me and accept me into their group. I felt that I was treated as a part of their extended family.
