In the Pukeko Room our youngest children are nurtured in a warm, cosy, home away from home environment , everyday our dedicated teachers create a calm, comforting holistic environment for our babies and toddlers to explore. Our cosy under 2s room is beautifully designed with cosy cots nestled in our sleep spaces and their own separate outdoor play area for fun, exploration and play.
In the Tui Room here at BestStart Parnell, children ages 2 to 5 years play and learn together supported by teachers who share their love of learning. Everyday our over 2s room children embark on a learning journey that is unique and special to them. Much like the hustle and bustle of the city our over 2s can be super energetic and always on the go and so our teachers provide calming rituals and activities to guide our children through their busy day of learning.
Our tamariki are passionate about their role as guardians of the environment and support our onsite prepared Healthy Heart meals with herbs and vegetables grown in the centre playground garden. Our Be School Ready initiative focuses on supporting inquiry and the development of independence and confidence with children as they prepare for their primary school years.
Our centre menu is a step above the rest with limited sugar, plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables as well as catering to any specific dietary needs. This is an area of pride for us and is sure to give your child the best nutritious advantage to support learning.
We offer free parking for drop offs which will make life easier – especially if you’re travelling into the city for work purposes. Our doors are open daily 7.30-5.45 Monday to Friday and we invite you to come and escape all the hustle and bustle and bask in our unique little Oasis in the City!
