Our Land Acknowledgement shows recognition of and respect for Indigenous peoples from the past and the present. We acknowledge that the property of Richland Academy is situated upon traditional territories of the Anishinabek, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit, Mississauga and the Wendat peoples.
Recognizing this land is an expression of gratitude and appreciation to those whose territory you reside on, and a way of honouring the Indigenous people who have been living and working on the land from time immemorial.
Nalini joined Richland Academy as the Early Years Lead to support all of our Early Years teachers in creating an environment where children learn through inquiry and play. She believes that the cognitive, emotional, social and physical development of children in the early years has a direct impact on their overall development and on the adult they will become. Through her experiences working in Reggio inspired schools she has developed a strong understanding and belief in nurturing the 100 Languages that a child may choose to communicate with, and developing a curriculum that is based on the child’s ideas, thoughts and observations. Nalini brings over 7 years of experience working in IB schools in India and Canada. Her educational journey includes Bachelor’s degree in Commerce, Cambridge Diploma for Teachers and Trainers, and Diploma in Early Childhood Education.
