Careers and employment
Live and work where you holiday as a Goodstart educator in Cairns
Sara Thao shares all about her life and thriving early learning career in Regional QLD.
My Background:
I have my Diploma in children’s services and began my Early Learning Journey 12 years ago at Goodstart Kellyville. Over the years, I have had the privilege of growing within the organisation, taking on increasing responsibilities. I advanced from Assistant Director to Centre Director at two other Goodstart centres, before returning to Goodstart Kellyville as the Centre Director. This progression has allowed me to develop a comprehensive understanding of leadership, operational management, and the nurturing of a positive, collaborative environment for Children, Families and Educators.
My personal Philosophy:
I firmly believe that every child deserves a nurturing environment where they feel safe, are valued, and supported, one that fosters their growth, learning, and development. I also recognise the critical importance of the first five years in a child's life and am committed to providing high-quality early learning experiences that lay the foundation for lifelong learning.
What I love about Goodstart Kellyville:
At Goodstart Kellyville, we take great pride in the strong, positive relationships we build with children, families, and the broader community. We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive, welcoming, and engaging environment where every child is supported to thrive and flourish.
Come and Say Hi:
We warmly invite you to visit our beautiful Early Learning environment and meet our dedicated Educators. We look forward to welcoming you and your family and can’t wait to support your Child’s learning journey together.
At Kellyville, 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.
