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 Currumbin Waters has been part of the local community since 1993 and during this time our centre has positively impacted on many families’ lives, some returning to the centre as families have expanded.
The centre is inviting and clean and we’ve recently had the centre painted. We’ve also introduced a sensory garden to the large open play areas, which the children love.
We pride ourselves on our long term dedicated and caring educators with the majority of them having worked at the centre longer than 5 years and two for over 20 years. Our educators are all well-qualified and several of them have special talents such as being able to speak a second language or play a musical instrument. This provides a greater number of learning experiences for the children.
There is a great atmosphere between the children, the educators and the families and over time many great friendships have been formed. We have an open communication approach and lots of ways families can get involved with the centre such as through family fun days and open days.
Our centre is located in a quiet street away from busy roads in a residential area of Currumbin Waters. So please make sure to come by and visit us at any time.
I have a Diploma in Children's services and have been employed with the company since 2005 and in the Early Childhood sector for over 20 years. For the past 4 years I have worked at our Burleigh Waters centre, during which I held a variety of roles from Assistant Director, Educational Leader and Senior Educator. Previous to that, I was a part of the team here at Currumbin Waters for over 10 years.I am deeply attached to the community of Currumbin as this is where I also live with my family.
My passion is to provide high quality education and care for all children to actively promote children's wellbeing, learning and development in a safe and secure environment. I aim to build strong relationship with my team, families and children.
We strive to be the centre of choice in our area and I look forward to meeting you and your family in the future.
