Welcome to a world where play sparks curiosity and every grain of sand holds endless possibilities!
At BestStart Lemon Street, our sandpit is no ordinary sandbox—it’s a vibrant, interactive space where tamariki dive into imagination and learning, building more than just castles. Here, children explore, create, and discover as they develop vital skills. As they dig, scoop, and build, new words and ideas naturally bloom.
From describing textures to exploring sizes and shapes, every moment sparks literacy and numeracy, with concepts like “big,” “small,” “full,” and “empty” becoming part of their play. But it’s not just about words and numbers—this sandpit is a place to grow confidence, make friends, and learn life skills.
Tamariki collaborate, negotiate roles, and share ideas, building important social skills like empathy and teamwork. Whether facing challenges like a collapsing sandcastle or figuring out how to balance a tower, every discovery is a chance to grow - And the magic doesn’t end with the sand!
The sandpit is a treasure trove of surprises—colourful shells, stones, pinecones, and even toy dinosaurs! Teachers keep the excitement alive with fresh resources and fun provocations like “What happens if we add water?” or “How tall can your sand tower grow?” These spark critical thinking, creativity, and hands-on exploration.
At BestStart Lemon Street, the sandpit is more than just play—it’s a place where curiosity leads to discovery, learning flourishes, and every moment is an adventure! Come, dig in, and watch your child’s imagination soar!
