Townsville teacher's tips on regional work and living
Early childhood teacher Kylie Ryan of Goodstart Kirwan Golf Links Drive shares her insights.
I have been in the early childhood industry for 17 years, working across a range of services with children from birth to 12 years. My experience includes supporting vulnerable families through early intervention and relationship-based approaches, ensuring every child feels safe, valued, and supported.
I hold a Bachelor in Human Services and am completing a Bachelor in Social Work this year. I am passionate about creating an inclusive, nurturing environment where children can develop a love for learning and a strong sense of belonging.
My Early Learning Values:
I believe early childhood education lays the foundation for lifelong learning and well-being. Every child deserves to be in an environment that fosters curiosity, connection, and confidence.
What I Love About Our Community:
The relationships! From morning chats with families to working alongside community organisations, it’s the connections we build that create a strong, supportive environment for children.
A Little More About Me:
Outside of the centre, you’ll find me spending time with my family or exploring the outdoors.
Why Your Child Should Spend the Day with Us at Goodstart Maroochydore:
We provide a warm, inclusive, and engaging environment where children feel safe to explore, learn, and build meaningful relationships. Our approach is guided by evidence-based practices, respect for diverse cultures, and a commitment to child-led learning.
I look forward to welcoming you and your family!
