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 Mount Isa is located only minutes from the CBD and Hospital.
Our recently upgraded outdoor environment has shaded playgrounds, designated bike track, water play area, vegetable garden pods, beautifully landscaped gardens, sand pit, climbing area and a fresh coat of paint. Our indoor environment also received a new coat of paint, and all rooms are air conditioned and fully resourced.
The centre provides care and learning for children in Nursery, Toddler, Senior Toddler, Pre-Kindy, and Kindergarten. We provide a play-based curriculum that is based on the individual needs of the children.
The Early Years Learning Framework and National Quality Standards guide and support the educators at Goodstart Mount Isa to implement learning opportunities that will ensure all children can grow and develop at their own pace and have the best possible start in their life-long journey of learning.
We offer a funded and approved kindergarten program and use the Queensland Kindergarten Learning Guidelines as the curriculum to support children’s learning and development in the year before school.
Storypark is an online platform that we use to share with families their child’s learning and development journey. This platform also provides a means of private communication between individual families and educators ensuring the most up to date information is being shared about the children.
Our centre encourages cultural diversity and has close ties within the community. We endeavour to build strong relationships between the home and centre while respecting the culture and values of our families.
I started my childcare career here with Goodstart in 2020, working in many roles over the past 5 years. I have a bachelor in Early Childhood Education and Care.
I have little girl, and I am very passionate about early learning, giving each child the opportunity to learn, grow and enjoy their childcare journey. Along with my team, each day we create a learning environment, where children can interact, engage, build self-confidence, and learn through play.
Children are an extension of their families. I believe it is important to have positive and ongoing communication to support the needs of each Child.
Our doors are always open to welcome new families into our Mount Isa community. Book a tour and come say hello. We look forward to meeting you and showing you around our little centre.
