Townsville teacher's tips on regional work and living
Early childhood teacher Kylie Ryan of Goodstart Kirwan Golf Links Drive shares her insights.
Goodstart Bankstown
Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Bankstown is located residential / commercial area convenient to schools and shops – making the daily drop-off and pick-up a little less stressful!
The centre caters for up to 70 children per day aged between six weeks to six years.
Our play based, stimulating curriculum is based on the Early Years’ Learning Framework and our rooms – from Nursery to Kindergarten / Preschool – are all geared with this in mind. We also develop colourful, engaging programs accounting for each child’s individual interests, needs and strengths; and with each step we are ensuring the children are ready to take the big step into schooling.
This is made simpler through our intuitive Storypark platform, which enables us to maintain consistent and clear communications with families. That means we are better placed to support a child in their learning journey, ensure parents have peace of mind, and time stamp the children’s developments, milestones and achievements.
We have a large and bright playground which sparks the children's interest to enjoy and participate in various activities. The Nursery children have their own fenced off yard to keep them safe. We also have a natural area outside which is separate to our main yard. This area is used for environmental experiences including tree/seed planting and bug searching. It is a relaxing area for the children to have a different experience outside, away from the gross motor toys.
Hungry tummies are also catered for with children's meals provided throughout the day including breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and late snake. We also offer halal meat.
Community is also important to us and through visits to the centre and participation in events and activities throughout the year we are able to enrich the learning experience. Art and music experiences are provided on a daily basis which allow the children to freely express their creativity.
Come in and say hello! We would love to welcome you and your family into our centre.

Alison Kiel
Centre Director
Hello, my name is Alison Kiel and I am the Centre Director of Goodstart Early Learning Bankstown. My career in the Early Childhood sector began in 1999. I have a Bachelor of Teaching (Early Childhood Education) from Wollongong University which I completed in 2002.
I am extremely passionate about inclusion, diversity, early intervention, and learning through play.
My goals as Centre Director are to support, mentor, and guide our Educators so collectively we provide quality care and education for all children. My other priority is to work with the local community, and collaboratively with you the families, to achieve the best possible individual outcomes for your children.
The multicultural nature of Bankstown adds an extra element to our service – our Educators, and families are from diverse backgrounds – resulting in a culturally rich, immersive experience for your family the moment you walk through our front door.
I look forward to meeting you for a tour of our wonderful centre!
