Inclusive Early Learning

I work alongside children, families, and educators to build understanding, strengthen inclusive practice, and create environments where every child feels safe, seen, and supported from the very beginning.

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of this Country — the Gubbi Gubbi (Kabi Kabi) people — on whose lands, waterways, and communities we live, learn, and work. We recognise their deep and unbroken connection to Country — a connection that holds memory, story, and strength across countless generations.

I think of the Elders who came before me. The ones who fought — quietly, loudly, and relentlessly — so that I could stand where I stand today. As a Biripi and Dunghutti woman, their resilience lives in me. Their courage is the reason I get to do this work. Their sacrifice is why I take it seriously.

We pay our respects to all Elders — past, present, and emerging — who have carried this country, this culture, and this community through everything. Their wisdom does not just inspire us. It guides us.

WHO I HELP

Support for families, educators, and early childhood services

A large screen in the background displays the title "Understanding Cumulative Risk for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children in Early Learning." The setting appears to be a community or conference room, with banners and framed artwork on the walls.

Built from lived experience.
Driven by belief.

Yawayi (Hello) I'm Annissa — a neurodivergent Biripi and Dunghutti woman, a mum, and the founder of Inclusive Early Learning. I created this service because I know what it feels like to advocate for a child in a system that wasn't built for them.

Too many children experience barriers in early learning environments that were never designed with their needs in mind. Too many families are left carrying that weight alone.

My work is practical, neuroaffirming, and grounded in cultural safety — because inclusion only works when it's real, not just written in a policy.

When inclusive practice is embedded early — through environment, relationships, routines, and co-regulation — children don't just cope. They belong.

The story behind our logo

At the centre of everything we do is a child.

The community symbol, and the child symbol. Together, they tell the story of what we believe inclusion really means.

The child sits at the very centre. Held.Protected. Surrounded.

Around them, the dots radiate outward - each one representing a person, a relationship, a connection. Families. Educators. Health Professionals. Community. Each dot is part of a wider circle, and each circle is part of something even bigger.

A child at the centre. A community around them. Always.
