Nau mai ki BestStart Dey Street! A place where our capable tamariki reach their full potential through trusting relationships, exploration independence, and play. For us, learning through play is much more than fun and games, we have seen what a difference it makes to children’s development in creating confident learners.

For your child, it is about having loads of fun and making new friends. For us, it is an opportunity to explore your child’s interests, strengths, and talents as we celebrate and extend their amazing skills.

Our teachers know exactly what it takes to support tamariki as they grow. It’s about developing relationships first and foremost, with you and your child. This creates trust, and trust is where the magic of learning begins. We will be with you every step of the way. Partnerships are vital to enable us to maintain open and honest relationships based on mutual respect.

As you step into our nursery, you will experience warm and responsive Kaiako who provide calm and consistent routines throughout the day. This enables our pepe to engage in the world around them and develop a sense of trust and belonging

You’ll find our toddler room is full of color, warmth, and fun and there’s plenty of space for our tamariki to explore and develop their independence and social skills. Our routines here are consistent and reassuring and we start to give our tamariki opportunities to take responsibility for themselves.

When our preschoolers work in small groups, they learn to play together, take turns and solve problems. Whether they’re playing a game, creating a work of art or planning a project. You can be confident, your preschooler is learning how to work co-operatively make new friends, manage their emotions and persevere when the going gets tough. We have a focus on supporting our tamariki as they prepare for the next step in their learning journey – school!

Every day there’s a new adventure at BestStart Dey Street. With our teachers by their side your tamariki will tackle new challenges and succeed. Together we can, and we can’t wait to invite you and your whanau to join us
