See Me, Know Me, Grow Me

At BestStart Maui Street, we celebrate our culturally diverse community. We understand our roots and combine our rich historical heritage with our strong focus on nurturing tamariki to support a sense of belonging. We encourage self-management skills, communication, and community engagement while developing strong whānau relationships. 

Through open communication, we learn to understand what each family values and our teachers keep this in mind when supporting your child's learning and development. We have regular parent evenings and one-on-one conversations to update your child's progress and maintain our strong connections with whānau.

kind words from our parents

Parent

I just want to say thank you to the team at BestStart Maui Street. My two daughters have been with the centre for 8 years altogether and in that time I have been nothing but impressed with the dedication of care my girls received. Not only are the staff very approachable and friendly but were always keen to teach the children new things. The kids were always happy to be there which made dropping them off easy. We will miss all your friendly faces and will be sure to pop in and say hello when we get a chance. Thank you once again for doing what you do.

Parent

I love BestStart Maui. My baby is so settled and really enjoys coming to day-care each day. We are always greeted each day with warm caring smiles and people that genuinely care about our family. The communication is fantastic and we get great feedback each day about how our child’s day has been.

Parent

The staff are the main reason my children continue to go to this day-care. There are so many to choose from in the area yet I find the staff at BestStart Maui are so genuine and honest and really do make me feel like my kids are part of their daycare family. Thanks!

Bryan and Nanette Jenkin

As our Ally Jenkin will be a real school kid right now and Gabrielle settled in at her new centre, we wanted to thank you for the very good care and learning you have provided for them over the last few years. Both girls have been very happy and secure in your care, their learning has been most apparent and best of all - they have been relaxed and have had fun. Be proud of the environment you have created there and the wonderful range of opportunities you provide. It all takes effort, thought, time and planning as well as the day to day observations, understandings and provisions that each little person requires. We have appreciated being kept up with things via storypark and just wanted you to know how much we have appreciated all you have done for Carl and Sarah's girls.

Julie Vandy

Please pass on to everyone there how much we have enjoyed our time with the centre and how much everyone’s support, love and care has been appreciated by every member of staff. I'm not sure there is another place where whoever you see has a smile and a hello, even if you don’t have daily contact with them. We have felt as if we were part of the family from day one, and I know wherever we end up next is going to have a really tough act to follow. Thanks so much!
