Making a difference together
At BestStart Coronation Road, we believe children should learn and grow as unique individuals. We pride ourselves in building close relationships through open, honest and positive communications that foster collaborative partnerships with children, parents and community. Our culturally diverse teaching team is dedicated to developing the best in your child. Teachers support children’s learning through the positive language and age appropriate resources that develop life long skills and love of learning.
Nutritious home cooked meals are provided by our chef. We do cater for all of the cultural and allergy sensitive needs of our children.
Our environment for children under 2 - We provide an environment with a feeling of home away home and offer an unhurried curriculum for our busy babies where they have time to explore and discover at their own pace. We work with families to make the transition to centre life a smooth and happy time, creating a strong bond and a setting that feels like family. Along with respect, safety and love, we offer a nurturing place for your child to foster the daily development of their minds and bodies. We have a fabulous 1:4 ratio in this room.
Our area for children over 2 - Our mixed age room sees dedicated staff working in partnership with families and children to develop programmes to engage and support the development of every child. Our programme is based on children’s interest and we offer a wide range of learning experiences in a supporting and enriching environment. Families are involved in various events throughout the year including centre programmes, local trips and excursions, fundraising and celebrations of cultures and community events.
We offer a 'Set for School' programme that ensures that families know what to expect for their children's transition to the next phase of their learning journey. Through a play-based curriculum, our programme seamlessly integrates learning that aligns to the NZ school curriculum, including literacy, maths, and science. Our BestStart environments are thoughtfully arranged to foster greater independence and support children in developing essential self-help and socio-emotional skills needed for school readiness.
Our newly renovated outdoor area is inviting and challenges our children to take risks and gain control over their bodies. We look forward to meeting you and welcome visitors to our centre at anytime.
