Children are at the heart of what we do!
At BestStart Silverdale, we are committed to providing a nurturing environment where children thrive. Through respectful care and nurturing routines, we prioritize creating a safe and secure space for all. Our family-oriented approach ensures that every child feels loved and supported, fostering meaningful relationships with children, families, and the community.
Conveniently located near the motorway and Hibiscus Coast Bus Station in Silverdale, our purpose-built centre offers easy access for families. Surrounded by a range of shops and amenities, our centre provides a convenient hub for the local community. The natural beauty of the region, with nearby beaches and parks, enhances our outdoor exploration and learning experiences.
Guided by the principles of Te Whāriki and inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, our philosophy centers on holistic development, family and community involvement, and nurturing relationships. We value diversity and embrace every culture and identity, promoting a sense of belonging for all. Recognizing each child's innate curiosity, we encourage exploration and critical thinking to deepen their understanding of the world. Our goal is to ignite children's eagerness to learn and facilitate their growth and development.
