My place, your place, our place!

At BestStart Rolleston, we prioritize building strong partnerships with parents, whānau, and the community, creating a rich and inclusive environment where tamariki can learn and thrive. Nestled in the heart of Rolleston, our small centre embodies the vision of "My Place, Your Place, Our Place."

Our local curriculum draws inspiration from the historical journeys of travelers who visited Selwyn to replenish their kete from the abundant Te Waihora before continuing their adventures. We see our centre as a place where tamariki come to fill their kete of knowledge, preparing them for their ongoing learning journey. With a homely, welcoming atmosphere, we are dedicated to ensuring every child feels included and valued in our community.

Our Team

Our dedicated team is small but caring, bringing a sense of fun and joy to every day. Many of our members have been with us for over a decade, fostering strong relationships with our tamariki and whānau. Families often express how our centre feels like a true home away from home. We are committed to creating an engaging environment that is guided by the interests of the children, ensuring that each child feels valued and inspired in their learning journey.
