In a single word, with many different meanings, people have many ways of defining a family and what being a part of a family means to them. Families differ in terms of economic, cultural, social, inclusiveness, diversity and many other facets, but what every family has in common is that the people who call it a family are making clear that those people are important in some way to the person calling them their family.

Our Focus at BYK is a strong sense of nurturing, Identity and Connection.

Inclusion

“Inclusion ensures that all children participate meaningfully while learning and interacting in programs that acknowledge each child’s strengths and interests, so that they are supported to be active members of their community. Inclusion is important for many reasons. It implements current thinking about child development; supports children’s rights; implements the legal standards for education and care; and is good professional practice. Inclusion fosters diversity and overcomes any barriers that might exist to ensure that every child experiences quality early childhood education and care” – early Childhood Australia At BYK all children are treated equally in regard to inclusion, diversity and cultural back grounds.
