At BestStart South Road, we nurture respectful lifelong learners!

BestStart South Road is a warm, homely early learning centre in Hāwera, Taranaki.
 
Everything we do is grounded in our three learning priorities:
  • He Kōrero (Communication)
  • Manaakitanga (Kindness & Respect)
  • and Whanaungatanga (Relationships)
These values shape the way we communicate with our tamariki and whānau, guide the kindness and care we show one another and our environment, and strengthen the relationships that make our centre feel like a whānau.
 
We strongly value respect and kindness and incorporate them into everything we do. Our tamariki help one another, support and encourage their friends and lend a hand or share a hug.
 
We have a spacious outdoor playground which provides countless opportunities for running, gardening, climbing and imaginative play. It’s a vibrant and active environment where children can challenge themselves, explore nature and enjoy the freedom of open space.
 
At BestStart South Road, we promote a place where our children feel at home, where relationships matter, and where learning grows naturally through communication, kindness and connection.

Kind words from parents

"You ladies are excellent teachers and people who do amazing things for our kids. So loving and so understanding and also direct when needed with the children. We are 100% all about what you guys do here. The activities, songs, lessons, all of it. We just moved to Hawera, and the moment we stepped into the Preschool room we felt very good."
Parent
"Our 4 boys have all gone through BestStart South Road. It has prepared them really well for primary school. I have always felt that the staff care for the well-being of my children and take an interest in our family. My oldest primary aged children still love coming back to visit in the school holidays."
Parent
"BestStart South Road has a great range of books and toys that are updated regularly, and there are plenty of outside activities to keep everyone engaged. The recent addition of Storypark online has been a great way to keep families up-to-date more frequently, and personally it is excellent for our older children to see what their little brother is getting up to at preschool."
