Townsville teacher's tips on regional work and living
Early childhood teacher Kylie Ryan of Goodstart Kirwan Golf Links Drive shares her insights.
Alfredton Goodstart is a fun engaging centre, which enables children to grow at their own pace. Encouraging fun and supportive relationships with children and Educators. We love to think we are innovative, looking outside the box to provide the best possible service we can. We are always looking at new ways to develop our service to be the best it can be. We believe in play-based learning, looking at how children develop interests and engage in their environment. Programming for areas that they’re interested in and wanting to explore.
Our educational program aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework, offering a variety of experiences including art, music and physical activities. We also offer an accredited Kindergarten Program that prepares our children for the transition into school.
Our centre practices the Key Educator approach. We believe it is important for children and families to have secure, supported and reciprocal relationships with educators. Key Educator Relationships are based around an attachment theory and are supported by trust and respect.
Our Storypark platform enables educators to share daily updates about children’s learning and development. Allowing us open and clear communication with families.
Outside, we have play spaces all geared to enhance the children’s awareness of their surrounds and the greater environment. Our play areas have sandpits, vegetable gardens, climbing equipment and dramatic play spaces as well as shade all year around.
At Alfredton Goodstart we provide all meals including an array of seasonal fresh fruit and vegetables, all meals are prepared for us by our cook. We offer breakfast for all children here before 8am.
We look forward to meeting you and your family soon! Come in and meet the team, take a tour and see how we can work together to give your child the best possible start in life.
I have worked in the early learning industry since 2005 and I have a Diploma of Children's Services. During my career I have had the opportunity to work with different age groups and across the variety of areas in the industry.
For me it is all about putting the children first and working with my team to ensure every child in our care has access to the highest quality in early learning opportunities.
The team I am fortunate to work with shares my passion for seeing children meet their potential. They are dedicated, professional, experienced and highly qualified.
I look forward to working with you all and exploring how we can navigate through the early learning adventure.
