Empowering Kids with Aboriginal Stories for Early Childhood
Aboriginal stories are an integral part of Australia’s cultural heritage. They transport us to an ancient time and provide valuable insights into the rich cultural traditions of Indigenous Australia. Early childhood is the ideal time to start educating children about Aboriginal culture. And what better way than through authentic Aboriginal storytelling by Yarn Strong Sista!
Who We Are
Yarn Strong Sista is an Indigenous-owned and run National Educational Consultancy and Training Provider based in Melbourne, Australia. With over 20 years of experience, we specialise in delivering authentic Aboriginal training to early childhood professionals, primary school teachers, and corporate teams.
Our Offerings
We offer a range of services, including visits to Early Childhood environments to facilitate storytelling and art workshops with children, providing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-designed resources and educational tools on our website, hosting Professional Development Training for Educators, and facilitating art experiences and face-painting at festivals and events.
Our Aboriginal resources include artefacts, dolls, children’s music, children’s books, games, felt hand and finger puppets, felt mats for storytelling, puzzles, and teacher resource guides. We also have a range of corporate gifts designed by Indigenous artists and ethically produced with Fair Trade partners.
Foregrounding Anti-Bias Perspectives
We have launched a new series called “Foregrounding Anti-Bias Perspectives”, which includes bilingual children’s books, all identities’ dolls, and cultural fabrics, ensuring inclusivity and representation for all children, parents, and teachers. We also provide anti-bias training for educators in early childhood and primary education around cultural competency, unconscious bias, and contemporary storytelling.
