Townsville teacher's tips on regional work and living
Early childhood teacher Kylie Ryan of Goodstart Kirwan Golf Links Drive shares her insights.
I’ve been a part of the Goodstart family since 2018 and bring over a decade of experience in early childhood education, having worked in a variety of roles both in Australia and the UK. I first stepped into a centre director role with Goodstart in regional NSW in 2020, before relocating to Brisbane in 2021.
My academic background includes an undergraduate degree in Childhood Studies from Aberystwyth University, a Postgraduate Diploma in Early Years Teaching from Manchester Metropolitan University, and a Bachelor of Education (Birth to Five) from Charles Sturt University.
As a centre director, I’m passionate about advocating for children through high-quality teaching and learning practices. I’m committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment where every child can grow, thrive, and feel a strong sense of belonging. I believe in recognising each child’s unique strengths, interests and abilities, and supporting their individual learning journeys with care and intention.
We’d love to welcome you to our centre to meet our passionate team and see the learning in action. We look forward to partnering with you to give your child the very best start in life.
I believe that a nurturing and supportive environment for children, educators and families is essential to the development of strong, positive relationships and to promote a life-long love of learning.
I look forward to meeting you soon!
