Townsville teacher's tips on regional work and living
Early childhood teacher Kylie Ryan of Goodstart Kirwan Golf Links Drive shares her insights.
Our service caters for children from six weeks to five years of age. We currently have 135 families attending our service from a range of different cultural backgrounds.
Our centre was assessed by the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority and we received an overall rating of ‘Exceeding’. This process is a National Framework, which rates all Childcare Centres across Australia against the National Quality Standards.
Our centre features large, open play spaces both inside and out, where children are encouraged to spend time with each other. Goodstart Huntingdale offers convenient on-site parking, and is located directly on the local bus route.
We maintain strong ties with the local community by participating in events such as charity fundraising days. We also maintain a close relationship with the local primary school, and offer excursions to the school as part of our school readiness program.
The majority of our educators have families of their own, and all have a genuine interest in the development of every child at the centre. A number of our educators come from different cultural backgrounds and are bi or multilingual. We celebrate the cultural diversity of our educators and families by incorporating different aspects into our learning programs and centre events.
We communicate with families through quality conversations between educators and parents on a daily basis, in addition to newsletters and emails. Also , our Storypark platform enables us to stay in close contact with parents and families providing open and clear communication. This ensures that we tailor each program to the child’s individual needs, interests and strengths.
At Huntingdale, you and your child can enjoy the best of both worlds. Our centre offers a kindergarten program and long day care under the one roof. Our kindergarten teachers are University qualified and provide a play-based learning program that will support your child in learning the skills for school and life.
