At BestStart Alexandra, we provide education and care for children aged 3 months to 5 years in our two dedicated spaces: Koru (under 2s) and Pikorua (2–5-year-olds). We trust and support tamariki to lead their own learning, with teachers building on their interests to create meaningful, engaging experiences that inspire curiosity and a lifelong love of learning. Our approach is grounded in the RIE/Pikler philosophy, fostering respect and independence throughout our centre.

The Pikorua room offers a warm and welcoming environment led by a strong and consistent teaching team. With a spacious outdoor playground, tamariki enjoy plenty of opportunities for exploration and play. Hui times before morning and lunch kai create smooth transitions from play and foster a sense of belonging, helping to bridge the gap between school and home. Our goal is to make the Pikorua room feel like a second home, supporting tamariki as they grow and thrive.
