Townsville teacher's tips on regional work and living
Early childhood teacher Kylie Ryan of Goodstart Kirwan Golf Links Drive shares her insights.
After many years located at Albert Ave, the dedicated team at Goodstart Boronia- Albert Ave have relocated just a few minutes down the road to Iris Crescent. This move brings better facilities and expanded services to both existing and new families, while maintaining the strong community focus that has always been at the heart of the centre.
The new centre, designed with children’s growth and happiness in mind, features beautiful outdoor environments and high-quality learning spaces. The team of educators, many of whom are long-standing community members, remain at the heart of the centre’s welcoming environment. This move allows the centre to expand its offerings while continuing to provide the high-quality care and education that families have trusted for years.
Families are invited to book a tour to discover why the community has trusted this beloved team for so long. With the same amazing educators and a brand-new state-of-the-art space, Goodstart Boronia - Iris Cres, continues to provide the best in early learning and care for local children—just at a new location, where bigger and better opportunities await.

I have been in the early learning and child care sectors since 1990, and I hold an Advanced Diploma of Early Childhood Education and a graduate Certificate in Child and Adolescent health. I started my role as Centre Manager in 2017.
Throughout my career I have worked in all levels of early learning; with each role came a new level of experience and knowledge.
I am passionate about supporting families within our community and providing an inclusive environment for all. I firmly believe that the first five years are the most important and can make a great difference in children’s lives. My team and I pride ourselves on creating an inviting and stimulating environment at the centre. We are committed to providing each child with the best possible start in life.
On a daily basis, I work hard to connect with our local community and local services to strengthen these relationships for our families. All children are entitled to a high-quality education, to feel valued and respected. Every child has a voice – a voice that should be heard, and we have a responsibility to make sure our children have access to the highest quality care.
It's a passion I share with the team I am fortunate to work with. With years of experience and excellent qualifications, this is a team of dedicated and committed professionals who have a calling for early learning and supporting your child to have the best possible start in life.
