BestStart Pinnacles

The teachers at BestStart Pinnacles Kindergarten are absolutely amazing! They are so supportive, caring, and genuinely invested in the children’s growth and happiness. My daughter absolutely loves attending—she comes home smiling every day and always talks about the fun things she’s learned and the friends she’s made. I couldn’t ask for a better environment for her early learning journey. Highly recommend!

This place is more than a daycare, it's become a part of our family. The teachers are passionate about what they do and my kids are so loved and supported by them in their learning journey. Pinnacles goes the extra mile to ensure that there something fun and exciting to look forward to, while still being very educational. I would highly recommend this as a preferred daycare in Wanaka.

Pinnacles has always been a wonderful centre, and we’ve had such a positive experience over the last 3+ years. Since the new Centre Manager has come on board, we’ve noticed even more attention to the children’s daily experiences, with exciting new activities and celebrations. Each public holiday is made special with beautiful decorations, themed experiences, and fun, relevant celebrations, it’s fantastic to see how much thought and creativity goes into making things so fun and memorable for the children. The staff are truly wonderful, so caring, attentive, and always greeting the children (and parents!) with warm smiles. It’s clear they genuinely care about each and every child. We are so grateful to the incredible team at Pinnacles for creating such a nurturing, exciting environment for our little ones to thrive.

We could not be happier with our daycare and the staff that are the heart and soul of this place. They are so kind to our children and feel like an extension of our family and community. Community is so important, thank you for your commitment and work you are all a treasure. We are grateful and appreciate their work.

Our daughter absolutely loves her days with the BestStart team. The enthusiasm Mariette has brought to the business compliments the care and attention from the teachers that we love. Thanks to you all!

Since being under Mariette's leadership, it's been transformed into a wonderful and exciting learning world for my kiddos. I feel that the teachers, who have always been so amazing and passionate, have the space and encouragement to explore and execute their teaching ideas. The communication is FANTASTIC and I absolutely love excursions being brought back and activities such as Show and tell, which is so valuable for shy littlies like my son. Everyone goes above and beyond with special days and holiday programs and it's exciting not only for the kids, but for us as parents as well. It feels like a warm, happy and fun space to learn and to flourish.
