Nestled in the heart of Kaikorai Valley, close to Dunedin BestStart Kaikorai Valley Road is a welcoming, vibrant, and flexible early childhood centre for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.

We are a purpose-built early childhood centre where tamariki laugh, learn, share, and grow.

We provide a welcoming, vibrant, and flexible environment; responsive to all akonga and their changing needs, interests, and abilities. Teachers are committed to consciously growing respectful and loving relationships for all.

We acknowledge and celebrate all cultures, embracing the richness and diversity that they bring. We have a strong commitment to the Treaty of Waitangi and bicultural development. We recognise the mana of the child as we strive to provide safe, inclusive, stimulating environments that acknowledge the rich funds of knowledge that each child and their whānau brings with them.

We believe in the integration of learning and play as children learn best through 'doing'. We believe that through opportunities to explore the world around them, children become active and involved learners.

Our priorities for children's learning are implemented through quality teaching strategies in ways that are relative to each individual. Teachers are focused on supporting children to become Socially Confident, Investigative Learners, Resilience, and Enriched in languages, numbers, and information technology.
