For more than 60,000 years, storytelling has been at the heart of First Nations culture.

At the Waranwarin Early Learning Center in Sydney's southwest, storytime is a highlight of every day for children.

With specialized learning programs supported by the Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation ((ALNF)), the center is one of hundreds across the country helping to close gaps in Indigenous education.

The group lends its support behind the Australian Literacy and Numeracy Foundation, which helps close the educational gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous students.
