About our centre
BestStart Marne Road Kindy provides an authentic, nature-based learning experience where children lead their own educational journey.
Rooted in our unique history as the original Station Master’s home from the 1900s, our local curriculum inspires children to become explorers, researchers, and decision-makers. They connect with the community through excursions to the library, museum, and local shops, while discovering nature through activities like Nature Kindy. Children delve into their questions using technology, books, and other resources, setting personal learning goals that foster confidence and curiosity. Our rich, multicultural environment celebrates diversity and equips children with skills and values for lifelong success
