Townsville teacher's tips on regional work and living
Early childhood teacher Kylie Ryan of Goodstart Kirwan Golf Links Drive shares her insights.
My boys have been at this centre for a few years now and love it! They genuinely enjoy going to daycare and have made strong connections with their educators. I feel comfortable leaving my kids at daycare knowing they are safe and well cared for. The outdoor space is big and well maintained; there’s always lots of fun activities on offer. My boys love the new sensory room that has been added. The centre has recently undergone a change of management with Lara coming on board and also a new ECT, Jeni. Lots of positive changes have been made and the new environment is calm and nurturing.
The Educators here at Goodstart Robina Groves are amazing. They are caring, nurturing, fun, approachable and best of all they have your child/Ren's needs and interests are out first. The learning environment are amazing and are based on child interest not just to tick a box. The outdoor spaces are amazing and the Educators set up experiences to keep the children engaged for long periods from time as the interest of the child is being met. Having meals provided made it even easier as I did not have to think about what to pack my child for lunch each day as it was a struggle for me to come up with different ideas each day. Nappies and wipes are also supplied and are ALL INCLUDED IN THE FEES!!! NO hidden costs. Not having to supply nappies is awesome as it cut down on how many boxesf nappies we be buying.
I have been in the childcare sector for over 30 years, and I have been a Centre Director for Goodstart for 10 of those years, recently starting at Goodstart Robina Groves in 2025.
During my time in the childcare sector I have worked in Australia and overseas in England and America for a number of years. I believe that early learning provides children with the skills they need to become active learners to achieve the skills they need for life. I love watching children through the first five years and develop into their own little individuals with their special personalities. I look forward to meeting you and your family at Goodstart Robina Groves.
