BestStart Redwood

BestStart Redwood is an inviting and engaging education and care centre that encourages our tamariki (children) to connect and engage with the world around them. Our learning environments are safe and well resourced. You will be amazed and delighted with our outdoor spaces. They are large, inviting, stimulating and reflective of our respect for Papatūānuku (the land).

Our professional and fun kaiako (teachers) have a genuine love of teaching and learning. We are very proud of our environment which is set up to support and extend your tamariki learning and development. Within this environment our tamariki mana is recognised and fostered within a responsive curriculum, rich in language and cultural artifacts.  

There is a balance between set activities and self choice experiences. We have a variety of excellent developmentally appropriate resources to support your child to learn and develop to their full potential. During the day they will have access to these resources and at other times kaiako will set up specific activities, such as music and painting. 

Our vision: As we grow together, we learn together 

Our Nursery has caring teachers who are passionate about meeting the individual needs of your infant. We work hard to ensure we follow the same routines that you have at home.  

Our Toddlers Room has plenty of exciting educational experiences to capture your child’s imagination and develop their identities as autonomous learners. 

Our Prep-school provides a wide range of experiences, activities and equipment to support inquiry learning whereby they can plan and monitor their own experiences. 

We offer flexible session times that will meet the needs of your whanau.  

What makes us special:

- A safe and secure environment

- Very large outdoor spaces in both the nursery and the preschool

- Well resourced centre

- Our kaiako will support your child to be respectful, resilient and over time, become independent
