What an unforgettable evening we shared at our annual Christmas Party at the beautiful Hamilton Gardens!
Our BestStart Jones Crescent community came together in the spirit of joy, connection, and celebration, creating memories that we will treasure for years to come.
We were overwhelmed by the wonderful turnout from our whānau. Your smiles, support, and presence made the night truly special.
Our tamariki lit up the stage with their confident and joyful performance, showcasing the hard work they had put into their rehearsals. Seeing them sparkle with pride was the highlight of the evening for us all.
After the performance, our tamariki received a very special visit from Santa, followed by a shared dinner that brought everyone together in a warm and festive atmosphere. These moments of togetherness reflect the heart of our centre—where whanaungatanga, aroha, and partnership with families remain at the core of everything we do.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our whānau for their incredible support. Many of you took time off work, helped transport resources, assisted with decorations, and even stayed late to help clean up. Your generosity and teamwork helped turn this event into a truly magical celebration.
Our celebration also attracted interest from families visiting the Gardens, giving us a lovely opportunity to connect with the wider community and share what makes BestStart Jones Crescent such a special place for tamariki to learn and grow.
To the families who were unable to attend, our kaiako have kept Santa’s gift safe for your tamariki and will give it to them when they return. We look forward to sharing future celebrations together.
Thank you to our amazing children, families, and teaching team for making our 2025 Christmas Party such a joyful success.
We can’t wait to welcome 2026 with you all! Meri Kirihimete and warm holiday wishes from the BestStart Jones Crescent whānau!
