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 Bedford Park is located in the southern suburbs of Adelaide, close to local schools, shops and public transport. We are lucky to have wetlands not far from the centre and it isn't uncommon for ducks to come and pay us a visit. We also get the odd kookaburra come and sing us a song.
Our Educators are highly qualified and experienced and work incredibly well as a cohesive team. They all pride themselves on creating a fun, exciting and developmentally rewarding learning environment for all children.
All of the learning environments are set up in line with an Early Years Learning Framework, with sensory and play based learning opportunities. We work in partnership with families on their child’s learning journey which means we can tailor each program to the child’s individual needs, interests and strengths – as well as the strong level of cultural diversity in our centre.
Our outdoor learning environments are age appropriate with large shaded yards, the children have the chance to play on climbing frames and have fun with our sandpits, veggie patches and playing equipment, as well as enjoying being close to the wetlands.
When you enrol at Goodstart Early Learning Bedford Park, you can expect:
• High quality learning environments
• Passionate and highly trained teaching staff
• School readiness and transition to school program
• Child-centred, teacher guided learning framework
• Holistic focus on the development of your child

I have worked in child care since 1992 and during this time I have worked as a Director of a centre as well as an Area Manager, where I was required to manage nine child care centres in the Adelaide Hills.
I hold several qualifications which include Human Resources, Business Management, Community Services and Administration.
It has been wonderful working with the families and staff and getting to know everyone at the centre and I will continue to work closely with family and staff to ensure we provide a high quality service to our families.
I am passionate about working with families to ensure children have every opportunity to meet their potential.
We would welcome the opportunity to meet you and your family and explore how we can support you on this early learning adventure.
