Early childhood teacher Kylie Ryan of Goodstart Kirwan Golf Links Drive shares her insights.
Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Kin Kora in Gladstone is located on the corner opposite Kin Kora Primary School, close to shops, bus routes, main roads and residential estates.
We provide childcare for children 6 weeks to 5 years old. Our team of culturally diverse educators at Goodstart Gladstone Kin Kora are highly qualified and many are studying towards their further qualifications. Most of our educators have been at the childcare centre for a minimum of 2 years, providing familiarity for children and families.
Our team has a wide and extensive variety of experience, and it is our mission to nurture and bring out the best in the children at our centre.Our team of educators at Goodstart Kin Kora have worked thoughtfully to create environments that are both calm and beautiful for both children and adults. The classrooms have been carefully organised to ensure that there are many small spaces for children to break off into small groups and play, which makes for a calm and organised atmosphere. There are many indoor plants which add a sense of wellbeing to the bright and airy classrooms.
Our Storypark and XAP platforms, 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, we have large age appropriate play spaces and equipment, all geared to enhance the children’s awareness of their surrounds and the greater environment.Our outdoor play spaces provide children the opportunity to interact with a various of age groups. Play spaces are reflected on and are set up to support each child to reach their full potential.
Community is also important to us and through visits to the centre and participation in events and activities throughout the year we are able to enrich the learning experience. Art and music experiences are provided on a daily basis which allow the children to freely express their creativity. We look forward to welcoming you and your family.
