At BestStart Ascot Avenue, we strive to be everyday heroes by spreading care and aroha!
At BestStart Ascot Avenue, we see ourselves as everyday heroes—spreading care and aroha in everything we do. Our local curriculum is guided by the principles of Te Whāriki and shaped by our values of Manakitanga (care and compassion), Aroha (love and kindness), and Kotahitanga (unity and togetherness). These values create a warm, inclusive environment where tamariki develop a strong sense of identity and belonging.
Inspired by the Whakataukī:
"Nā tō rourou, nā taku rourou ka ora ai te iwi"
(With your food basket and my food basket, the people will thrive.)
We believe in the power of shared responsibility and mutual respect—working together with whānau and the wider community to help tamariki thrive.
Our teaching is enriched by strong community connections, bicultural heritage, and a focus on curiosity and exploration. Through hands-on nature experiences, regular excursions, and STEM-based learning, we inspire tamariki to be confident, capable learners.
