Careers and employment
Close community, nature, and family life for educators in Tasmania
Kadie Cunningham, Assistant Director of Goodstart Kings Meadows, moved back for a better life.
Goodstart Early Learning Cameron Park is a purpose built child care centre that opened in 2006. We are tucked into a convenient little pocket of suburbia close to residential estates as well as local schools, shops and community facilities.
We have five rooms offering excellent care for children aged six weeks to six years. Our educators are highly qualified and promote learning in a caring play based environment. Throughout the Centre, all of the rooms from Nursery to Preschool provide programs in line with the Early Years Learning Framework. The learning spaces have been carefully planned to encourage active engagement and exploration. Art and music experiences are provided on a daily basis which allow the children to freely express their creativity. We also have an extensive School Readiness Program with a focus on numeracy, literacy and IT skills.
Goodstart Cameron Park uses the Storypark documentation platform, which allows educators to regularly communicate with families regarding the learning that is occurring for their child. It also enables families to be actively engaged in this learning, working with educators to set goals and providing regular feedback on the program.
We are lucky enough to have an amazing cook at the Centre, Liz. Liz not only provides tasty, nutritious meals for the children, but also spends time talking with children about the meals she has prepared, promoting the children’s learning about healthy foods and the benefits that they have.
We would welcome the opportunity to meet with you and your family so please feel free to get in touch and organise a time to visit for a Centre tour.
I have 29 years’ experience in the Early Childhood and Education Sector.
I am passionate about ensuring children have the learning, development and wellbeing capabilities they need for life; I enjoy working in this diverse sector and building a positive culture and professional learning community.
Professor of Child Health and Development at the Harvard School of Public Health and Graduate School of Education, Dr Jack Shonkoff (2002) indicates “We have some amazingly compelling neuroscience that shows us how the quality of the relationships that children have with the important people in their lives, the interactions and the feelings that go with those relationships, actually influence the emerging architecture of the brain”.
I am very excited to be the centre Director at Cameron Park and look forward to meeting you and introducing you to our amazing team.
At Cameron Park, you and your child can enjoy the best of both worlds. Our centre offers a preschool program and long day care under the one roof. Our preschool teachers are University qualified and provide a play-based learning program that will support your child in learning the skills for school and life.
