BestStart Marchwiel

BestStart Marchwiel is for whanau who want more. We provide quality education and care in our home away from home setting for children three months to six years.

We're located in the heart of Marchwiel, Timaru and offer a warm environment where whanau and community are welcomed and encouraged to be part of our learning. We believe children learn best when they are secure in their surroundings and strive to provide a safe and engaging space where children are able to celebrate their own way of thinking and learning.

With place-based learning at the heart of our curriculum, we celebrate our surroundings and work together to ensure the success of our children and whanau. Through our community gardens and interactions with local services we collaborate to create lasting change within our community and children have the opportunity to learn the value of giving back and paying it forward. This learning is solidified through regular excursions out into our neighbourhood, whether it be dropping off produce to those close by or spending time with residents at Elloughton Gardens.
