BestStart Silverstream

Located in Kaiapoi, BestStart Silverstream provides childcare and early learning where tamariki are thoughtfully and lovingly nurtured. Our RIE/Pikler-inspired approach focuses on respectful relationships, giving children time and space to explore, build confidence and develop independence at their own pace.

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

• RIE/Pikler-inspired care: Our teachers give children time to explore, discover and try things for themselves, supporting confidence, independence and a strong sense of self.
• Strong connections with whānau: We work closely with families, with open communication and regular updates about your child's development helping you stay connected to their early learning journey.
• A connection to our community: Regular excursions to local parks and cafés give children opportunities to explore Kaiapoi, build relationships and experience their wider community.
• Set for School: Our Set for School programme and relationships with local schools help children build the skills, confidence and independence they need as they prepare for primary school.
• Convenience for families: Located on a popular commuter route in Kaiapoi, with opening hours from 7am–6pm to making drop-off and pick-up easier for busy families.

At BestStart Silverstream, we believe children thrive when they feel safe, respected and connected. Our teachers work alongside whānau to create a nurturing early learning environment where children can explore, build relationships and grow into confident, capable learners.
