BestStart Oamaru Kindy

Located in Oamaru, BestStart Oamaru Kindy provides childcare and early learning for children aged 2 to 5 years. Our charming villa creates a warm, homely environment where children can feel comfortable, valued and confident as they learn through play.

Whether your child is just starting childcare or getting ready for school, our centre offers:

• A homely learning environment: Our charming villa has defined spaces where children can play, explore and learn alongside their friends, with a wide range of resources to spark their interests and curiosity.
• A playground full of surprises: You might not realise it from the road, but our centre has a spacious playground tucked behind the villa, giving children plenty of room to run, explore, play with friends and enjoy outdoor learning.
• Ready for school: With children aged 2–5 years, building confidence, independence and essential skills for school is an important part of our everyday programme. Our Set for School programme supports children as they prepare for their next big step.
• Learning together: We value children as capable and confident learners, encouraging them to make choices, develop independence and learn through everyday experiences alongside their peers and teachers.

Our vision, “Learning as we play, growing as we learn together,” reflects our commitment to working alongside whānau to support each child's learning, development and growing independence.
