Townsville teacher's tips on regional work and living
Early childhood teacher Kylie Ryan of Goodstart Kirwan Golf Links Drive shares her insights.
In 2021 Goodstart Early Learning Kelso – Gilmour St took part in the Bathurst Waste 2 Art competition and won 1st Place in the 2 dimensional Preschool category. The children combined their efforts and created a beautiful masterpiece using recycled materials. These materials included: Soda can ring pulls, Soda cans, Recycled chocolate wrapper foil, foil, and fallen leaves. We came up with the idea to create a Murray River Cod fish after discussions about the recent flood in Bathurst and all of the rubbish that was seen washed into the river because of it. Our beautiful artwork is called Munyaa which is the Wiradjuri name for the Murray River Cod. This experience provoked learning of sustainability, built on creativity, and encouraged group discussion and discovery.
We warmly welcome new families, so please stop by. We would love to explore how we can support you and your child on their pathway to lifelong learning.I commenced working at Goodstart Kelso in 2015 and have been in the Early Childhood industry since 2001. I have a Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood) and have had the opportunity to work in various roles, and with children of all ages throughout my early childhood career.
As a director and a teacher, I am committed to providing all children in our community with quality early learning experiences in which they can develop skills and a passion for life-long learning.
I am proud to be working with a dedicated team of educators who strive to make each child feel valued and supported. We hope that you can come and visit us and discover how we can support you and your child on your early childhood education journey.
