Townsville teacher's tips on regional work and living
Early childhood teacher Kylie Ryan of Goodstart Kirwan Golf Links Drive shares her insights.
Goodstart Early Learning Child Care Centre Kingaroy is a large child care centre on two blocks catering for up to 74 children per day. We currently have five rooms from Nursery to our Government funded Kindergarten room.
Our child care centre has a great partnership with Gundoo Day Care in Cherbourg and caters to all children. The centre also works closely with schools to ensure the transition from Day Care to school runs smoothly.
Our curriculum, developed in line with the Early Years Learning Framework and Queensland Kindergarten Guidelines, offers a variety of activities for the children throughout the day including music and movement, active play, craft activities, language, computer skills and many more.
Through open communication with parents and families, we provide a personalised program for each individual child within the centre; this enables us to accommodate the children’s needs and interests while further developing their strengths. Our rooms are planned and set out according to the curriculum and day’s program.
Outside, our playground areas is wrapped around the centre, which allows all children to run and explore to their heart's content. Our Nursery children have their own playground which is fenced but allows older siblings to come and visit at any time. Our shaded play areas, gardens and space allow the children to be immersed in stimulating, safe, experience and play based learning.
Community is another important part of Goodstart Kingaroy’s philosophy. As well as visits and access to information from throughout the community, we have Calender of Events days which include bring a pet day, pirate day and even pyjama day. We also have theme shows throughout the year which come to the service to provide entertainment for the children.
We would love to meet you and your family. Pop in and say hello, have a look around our centre and check out our new playground and all it has to offer your child!
Kinder funding is available at Goodstart Kingaroy.
My philosophy is to develop a positive self-esteem in children through play based learning and parent input to enhance the children's education. This provides an excellent foundation for both life and school preparation.
Our team regularly attend workshops and training courses to further our knowledge on Early Childhood Education and I am very involved in the community.
I am proud to lead a team of educators who are as dedicated as they are professional in their approach to early learning. Their qualifications and experience give our centre a solid foundation and some have been at the centre for many years which provides the centre with stability and a family feel.
I would welcome the opportunity to show you around the centre, introduce you to the team and explore how we can work with you to start your child on a journey of lifelong learning.
At Kingaroy, you and your child can enjoy the best of both worlds. Our centre offers a kindergarten program and long day care under the one roof.
