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 Mount Tamborine is located on the gorgeous mountain-side surroundings of the Gold Coast Hinterland. Based in a small community, the centre is walking distance to the local primary school, shops and services. Our open and spacious rooms allow us to set up inviting and diverse play areas for the children. The number of recourses that we have allows us to change the environments regularly to suit and cater for the children’s ever-changing interests and growing needs. The children are very involved learners and have a huge amount of input into how they would like their learning and environments to look. Our outdoor play spaces are inviting with lots of shady native trees, beautiful natural grassed area with a yarning circle for the children to play and relax in. Our close relationship with the Tamborine Mountain State School (located conveniently across the road) ensures our Kindergarten children are prepared and ready for their first year of school. Each year we are involved in the Pre-Prep program, where the children meet the Prep Teachers and are introduced to the rooms and daily schedules. We also participate in their under 8’s day and NAIDOC week celebrations to name just a few. Most of our qualified and dedicated team have worked at the centre for many years and live in the local area. Our educators work in partnership with our families to incorporate their values into their daily program. These educators have knowledge in child development and can provide your child with high quality learning opportunities and experiences. Our centre uses Storypark which is a secure, online platform that allows educators to document and share your child’s learning with you easily and efficiently. It provides real-time opportunities to connect with you, keeping you up to date on your child’s progress as it happens. You’ll notice a special atmosphere here at Goodstart Early Learning Mount Tamborine when you first visit us. |
Our centre has a friendly, caring and warm atmosphere. The children are always excited to return each day and discover new things to play, learn and do. At the centre you and your children will form friendships that will last a lifetime. Goodstart Mount Tamborine won the Family and Community Partnership Excellence award in the 2023 Goodies.
