Townsville teacher's tips on regional work and living
Early childhood teacher Kylie Ryan of Goodstart Kirwan Golf Links Drive shares her insights.
My career in Early Learning:
I studied at Swinburne TAFE and received my Diploma of Children’s services in 2015, I have worked here at Goodstart Blackburn South for 15 years.
I started out as a Room Leader working in the Nursery room for 10 years, I have now been in the Centre Director role for the last 5 years.
â—¾ Care and Empathy for children
â—¾ Love and Comfort for all children
I strongly believe that your child’s first experiences in early childhood education should be positive as it establishes their attitude for learning for their whole life.
Children should feel safe and secure in their environment and should have really strong bonds with the Educators that care for them. We encourage families to call in to visit us at any time.
Our centre prides itself on the array of cultures we have within our Team and within our families who attend the centre.
The people! From a quick morning hello, to the amazing support given by all our wonderful families who attend our centre and the supporting businesses around us.
When I’m not in the centre, you’ll find me being a busy Mumma of 3 year old girl/boy twins, enjoying coffee with friends and being around my family.
At Goodstart Blackburn South, we strive to provide a safe, peaceful and natural environment for the children, lots of dedicated Educators who have been here for more than 20 years and comforting arms to walk into every day.
I look forward to welcoming you and your family.
