Creating foundations for our babies and toddlers to blossom
Here in the Nursery at BestStart Cashmere we have worked hard to create a primary care system that supports our youngest tamariki and their whanau settle in with us. Our Maanakitanga Care System supports parents and their youngest right from the moment they walk through the door. We appoint a Maanakitanga Care teacher to establish a relationship from their first settling visit right up until they transition to the toddler room and beyond. Lately we have had a few new children start with us and what we are seeing are that the whanau and their youngest are engaging in the routines and exploring the nursery confidently knowing they are safe within this new environment. The Maanakitanga Care system enables us to build a strong relationship foundation and understanding of what is important for each child and their family. With this foundation the tamariki then understand that the nursery is a place for them to grow and blossom and become children of the world.
