A dedicated space for our youngest children where we provide a safe, nurturing environment where children can explore and discover at their own pace. We recognise the importance of nurturing trusting relationships and teachers provide this through loving, caring interactions in our every-day routines. Parents are at the heart of our centre and are encouraged to be part of children’s celebrations and learning experiences, providing a sense of whanaungatanga (connection).

At BestStart Montessori Mosgiel, we provide calm, nurturing spaces where children can explore, discover and grow at their own pace. Our caring teachers build strong, trusting relationships and create meaningful learning experiences that support every stage of development.
Families are valued partners in our community, encouraged to share in children’s learning and celebrations. Our large outdoor area is a favourite, featuring a sandpit, bike track and climbing challenges shaded by mature trees—perfect for exploring Papatūānuku’s natural treasures.
Through tuakana/teina relationships and a Montessori-inspired approach, children develop confidence, respect and a strong sense of whanaungatanga (connection).
Pikiwara Room(Under Twos)
Makamaka Room(Over Twos)
A large outdoor area is the highlight of our Makamaka room. Children explore freely with a large sandpit, bike track and numerous climbing challenges. Large mature trees provide plenty of shade, and learning opportunities to enjoy Papatūānuku’s finest treasures. With primary and early childhood trained teachers, we provide a variety of early literacy and numeracy experiences for children at all stages of their development. Tuakana/Teina (the older child guiding/empowering their peers) relationships provide children opportunities to develop a strong sense of manaakitanga (respect) within the community.
