BestStart Tironui Road
BestStart Tironui Road offers quality childcare in Takanini, close to Papakura, the Southgate Shopping Centre and the southern motorway.
Our multicultural centre is home to a dedicated team of qualified and professional staff – we are focused on providing the highest quality care and education for children aged 3 months to when they are ready to start school.
Regular changes to learning resources and equipment means children have lots of learning opportunities throughout the day. Our baby teachers are nurturing and passionate about supporting under two’s through the early development stages.
BestStart's Set for School programme ensures that families know what to expect for their children's transition to the next phase of their learning journey. Through a play-based curriculum, our programme seamlessly integrates learning that aligns to the NZ school curriculum, including literacy, maths, and science. Our BestStart environments are thoughtfully arranged to foster greater independence and support children in developing essential self-help and socio-emotional skills needed for school readiness. We work closely with Papakura Normal School and are very grateful to have been given this opportunity.
We invite you to visit us at BestStart Tironui and see how we can support your child into becoming a happy, confident learner.
