Kylie Horton

Centre Director

Hello, my name is Kylie Horton, and I am the Centre Director at Goodstart Burnside.

I have been working at this centre for over 17 years, I have performed is different roles from Group leader, Assistant Director and now Centre Director.

I am not merely an early childhood educator, I am an early childhood educator of children, I believe that each child is an individual and as an educator I will value and develop each child's strengths, interests, skills, abilities, and knowledge to extend their learning. Children need the assurance of being loved and cared for while they are enjoying an educational environment. Security and trust are very important components as well, as my relationship with each child and their families.

I believe that as the Centre Director building trust with families is a top priority so that families feel valued and respected, feel comfortable to ask questions or express concerns and have increased confidence in the service. I believe that communication with families is a key part of building relationships with families, through communication I can find out the type of information that is important to them.

Please come and visit our centre to meet our team and see how committed we are to supporting you and your child/children to have the best possible start to life in the first five years.
