Townsville teacher's tips on regional work and living
Early childhood teacher Kylie Ryan of Goodstart Kirwan Golf Links Drive shares her insights.
Welcome to Goodstart Early Learning Wantirna South – Wallace Road, a vibrant and nurturing early learning centre dedicated to providing exceptional education and care for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years. With a capacity for 90 children across our five purposefully designed rooms, we offer a stimulating environment where children can explore, learn, and grow.
Our centre boasts not only spacious indoor play areas but also three inviting outdoor yards where children can engage with nature, develop gross motor skills, and foster a sense of wonder.
We believe in the power of play-based learning, and our experienced educators create meaningful experiences that ignite children's curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving skills.
At our centre, we understand the importance of strong relationships and personalised care. That's why we have implemented the Key Educator Relationship model, ensuring that each child is allocated an educator who becomes their primary point of contact. This dedicated educator then takes on the responsibility of fostering the child's learning goals and maintaining effective communication between the centre and the family.
We understand the importance of early childhood development and the role it plays in shaping a child's future. That's why we have tailored programs for each age group, including dedicated Kindergarten programs, ensuring children are well-prepared for the transition to primary school.
At Goodstart Early Learning Wantirna South – Wallace Road, we value the partnership between families and educators. We actively involve parents in their child's learning journey, fostering open communication and collaboration. Our passionate and dedicated team of educators is committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment where each child can thrive.
With a passion for early childhood education, I am thrilled to lead this wonderful team of educators and provide a nurturing environment for our young learners.
I bring with me a wealth of experience in the field, having worked as a dedicated teacher for 6 years before stepping into the role of Assistant Director for a year. Now, as the Centre Director, my focus is to ensure that every child who walks through our doors receive the highest quality of care and education. I hold a bachelor’s degree in education, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to create a stimulating and inclusive learning environment.
At Goodstart Early Learning Wantirna South – Wallace Road, we believe that early childhood is a critical phase in a child’s development, and I am committed to fostering their growth, curiosity, and love for learning. I am excited to collaborate with our talented educators and partner with you, the families, to create a strong foundation for your child’s educational journey. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns – I am here to support and guide you every step of the way!
