Our Goals

Our vision is for all children to have access to quality, culturally inclusive education and care. We aim to assist Educators to help build their cultural capacity and to ensure that their Services reflect the cultural Belonging, Being and Becoming of all children in their care, including:

• Children from Culturally & Linguistically Diverse Backgrounds (CALD)
• Children from Refugee backgrounds
• Children with a disability from CALD backgrounds
• Children from Aboriginal backgrounds
• Children with speech, communication and learning difficulties
• Children with Challenging Behaviours.

Our Aim

Diversity Kids aims to support the inclusion and participation of children from these target groups, by providing information, training, resources, coaching and role modelling support through working alongside the Educator to help build their inclusion capacity.

Diversity Kids Programs help remove barriers to inclusion and participation.
Our support is as individual as your children's needs. 
Our programs help you create bridges to inclusion.
Our Programs and Bilingual Educators are your connection to culture and your 'in language' cultural, inclusion support.  ​
