Townsville teacher's tips on regional work and living
Early childhood teacher Kylie Ryan of Goodstart Kirwan Golf Links Drive shares her insights.
My name is Alicia and I am the Centre Director for Goodstart Early Learning Booval. I have been working in the childcare industry for over 19yrs, 15 of those years has been with Goodstart. I have been a Director for Goodstart for the past 14 years working in a number of Goodstart Centres. I hold my Advanced Diploma in Children’s Services.
I am a mother of 4; and my children are my world and remind me of why I chose to work in childcare so many years ago. I started my time in childcare as a Centre Float and worked my way up to a Centre Director role by the time I was 21yrs. During my time I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience and I apply that to my role ensuring I provide my families and children with the highest quality of care.
Working in childcare is not only my job but it is my passion, and it has continued to be my passion for the past 18yrs. I have not only grown as a person but as an educator, as the childcare industry has evolved, I have evolved with it to ensure I am providing the best outcome for our families and children. The first 5 years of a child’s life is the most important and for me to be a part of that is extremely rewarding. Every child is unique, and it is our role as educators to support and guide children as they grow and learn in their own way
I look forward to you becoming a part of our little community 😊
