Townsville teacher's tips on regional work and living
Early childhood teacher Kylie Ryan of Goodstart Kirwan Golf Links Drive shares her insights.
Goodstart Narwee
Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Narwee is located in a convenient spot, close to community facilities, local schools and shops – making the daily drop-off and pick up as stressfree as possible!
Our educators take great pride in our programs and learning experiences – all of which are geared around the Early Years’ Learning Framework - that cater to all children's interests and needs in an enjoyable and exciting setting.
Our educators work hard to form strong bonds with the children and their families so that friendships will flourish during their time here at Goodstart Narwee.
Colourful, stimulating surrounds ensure the children have the chance to grow and develop through sensory, play-based learning; and we are focused on ensuring the children are ready to take that all important step up to school.
Our Storypark platform, as well as regular family nights and emailed newsletters, enable us to stay in close contact with parents and families, ensuring open and clear communication. This also means we can tailor each program to the child’s individual needs, interests and strengths – as well as the strong level of cultural diversity in our centre.
Outside, our playground areas are a balance of natural and manmade elements and play surfaces. We have carefully designed and planned spaces to encourage a stronger understanding of the environment and sustainability – while giving children the scope to explore, play and let their imaginations roam.
A major focus for our centre is how working with the broader community can help us enrich the children’s learning experience.
Through visits to the centre as well as excursions and participation in community events, we are able to deepen the relationship between the centre and the community, while teaching the children about being a contributing and active member of society. Our families enjoy coming together when we celebrate special events such as Graduation, end of year celebrations and other exciting activities.
We welcome you to come and have a look at our beautiful child care centre and explore how we can support you and your child.

Marie Antuoni
Centre Director
My name is Marie Antuoni, I have worked in the Early Childhood not for profit sector for 28 years holding my Bachelor of Teaching birth to five years.
My role as the Centre Director of Goodstart Early Learning Narwee is to be an effective advocate for young children and a champion for quality outcomes in early childhood education and care.
I believe that achieving successful outcomes for children starts with collaboration with families, to establish and maintain respectful and trusting relationships with others to support the achievement of positive outcomes for your child.
Strong pedagogical leadership is essential to support and promote the rights and voices of children.
