Townsville teacher's tips on regional work and living
Early childhood teacher Kylie Ryan of Goodstart Kirwan Golf Links Drive shares her insights.


I began my journey as an Early Childhood Professional in 2006 and joined Goodstart Early Learning in 2017. I have obtained my Bachelor of Teaching at the University of New England which has assisted me with my work practices in the diverse centers and positions I have worked in over the years.
I joined Goodstart Glendale in 2023 and I feel so privileged to lead a highly qualified, experienced, and dedicated team that shares my vision of creating and maintaining rich and meaningful learning environments and embedding high quality practices that promotes lifelong learning for all individuals.
At the heart of my philosophy, I believe that forming strong and respectful relationships with all stakeholders is vital to providing the children with every opportunity to reach their full potential. I also believe in equity and inclusion and always strive to ensure that all children feel empowered to explore and learn in their own way and in their own time.
Please come into the centre or give us a call as we would love to meet you and your family to discuss how we can work in partnership to provide your child with the best possible early learning journey.

At Glendale, you and your child can enjoy the best of both worlds. Our centre offers a preschool program and long day care under the one roof. Our preschool teachers are University qualified and provide a play-based learning program that will support your child in learning the skills for school and life.
