BestStart Birkdale

BestStart Birkdale is an early learning centre located in Birkdale, Auckland. We provide high-quality early education and award-winning childcare for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.

At BestStart Birkdale, we believe each child is a unique, curious, and active explorer with the capability to navigate their learning journey. We believe it is our role to support and encourage children to lead their learning while providing them with the resources and opportunities to unlock their full potential.

We believe friendships are powerful and encourage our families, teachers, and children to be part of our warm and welcoming BestStart Birkdale community. We implement teaching initiatives for our preschool children to prepare them for their transition to primary school, which we incorporate into everyday practice. The initiative encourages children to use their developing self-help skills and provides a range of opportunities to extend their independence, assisting with the next step in their learning journey.
