Townsville teacher's tips on regional work and living
Early childhood teacher Kylie Ryan of Goodstart Kirwan Golf Links Drive shares her insights.
Goodstart Springvale South is a culturally diverse service in terms of educators, children and families. We offer parking so that you are off busy Springvale Road and we have a bus stop right outside our door. Our service has a long-standing team who are committed to providing the best possible outcomes for all children.
We provide a program that includes language, literacy, maths, imaginative play, physical play, science and social emotional play. Our program is both structured and child led to enable all children the opportunity to participate in activities that interest them. We also value parent input and feedback, encouraging this as it is such an important part of your child’s development.
Our service has two outdoor areas that children use to develop their physical skills. We have one for our nursery children and the other is for our two to five year old children. Our 'big yard' provides children the opportunity to play with children of different ages, and at times, their siblings. Our educators use outdoor time to implement activities that allow children to develop physically, socially, and emotionally through play. A combination of intentional teaching and free play stimulates children’s curiosity for learning and supporting their interests.
We have two kindergarten teachers at our service offering a four year old program and a three year old program. These programs ensure that children are ready to face the new world of school.
We would love to meet you and your family soon, so come on in and have look at our service and we can talk about how we can work together to give your child the best possible start in life.
I moved to Australia in 2005. I have a completed my Bachelor of Commerce in India and I worked as a Primary School Teacher and also in a corporate company in India for eight years. I have a Diploma in Children’s Services and have spent time working with all age groups.
I strongly believe that children are the future of our country and their first experiences in early childhood education shapes them into strong individuals for their life.
In my role as a Centre Director, I will have the opportunity to lead and empower a team of Educators to provide high quality learning outcomes for the children and a strong connection with families and community.
My vision is to ensure that all our families and children feel secure and supported here at the centre. Being a mum myself, I understand the importance for families to find a perfect place for their children. A place where they feel safe, respected and supported and included socially and emotionally.
I love to connect with people and learn about different cultures. We often incorporate this learning to educate our children and shape them into responsible adults who can contribute positively to the community. I feel fortunate to be a part of a great community where I can connect and collaborate with local businesses and schools for a purpose.
When I’m not in the centre, you’ll find me spending time with my family. I love reading books and cooking dishes from all over the world.
At Goodstart Springvale South we have a very strong and dedicated team of Educators and we strive to provide a safe, peaceful, and natural environment that engages children's five senses, provoking wonder, curiosity, and intellectual engagement.
I look forward to welcoming you and your family along with my highly educated and passionate Educators and would love to explore how we can support your child on their journey to lifelong learning
