BestStart Lemon Street

At BestStart Lemon Street we believe in building strong foundations for a brighter future.

At the heart of our early childhood program is a steadfast commitment to laying the groundwork for lifelong success. Through a carefully designed curriculum and nurturing environment, we empower our young learners to develop the cognitive, physical, and social-emotional skills needed to thrive both now and, in the years, to come.

By fostering a love of learning from an early age, we ignite the spark of curiosity that will guide our students on their educational journeys. With experienced and dedicated teachers, we provide the individualised support and guidance that allows each child to reach their full potential.

At our centre, we instil the values of Kaitiakitanga - the Māori principle of guardianship and conservation of our natural environment. Through hands-on activities, outdoor exploration and learning experiences, we empower our young learners to develop a profound respect and reverence to protect the natural world around us.

Together with our families, we cultivate a vibrant community rooted in the principles of Whakawhanaungatanga - building strong connections and a deep sense of belonging. This collaborative approach ensures our tamariki feel safe, valued, and inspired to reach for the brightest of futures.

Tailored Curriculum

We understand that every child is on their own unique journey, so we ensure they are both challenged and supported at every stage. With guidance from our Curriculum Lead Manager our experienced educators create engaging, hands-on learning experiences that nurture the whole child - intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically. This holistic approach helps each child build a strong foundation for lifelong learning and growth.

Partnering with Families for Success

Communication and Collaboration

We believe in maintaining open and frequent communication with families. We share regular updates on each child's progress, strengths, and areas for growth. By working closely with families, we can create a cohesive learning journey that supports the child's unique needs and celebrates their successes.

Family Involvement

We actively encourage family involvement in our program. Families are invited to participate in various activities and events, from classroom celebrations to field trips. This fosters a strong sense of community and shared responsibility for the children's development. We believe that when families and our educators work together, it creates the best environment for each child to thrive.
