BestStart Wooing Tree

We’re excited to introduce BestStart Wooing Tree, a brand-new early learning centre in Cromwell, providing quality care and education for children aged 3 months to 5 years.

Our purpose-built centre is designed to spark curiosity and create a sense of belonging. With spacious indoor rooms and natural outdoor play areas, tamariki have the freedom to explore, discover, and grow at their own pace.

At BestStart Wooing Tree, we are passionate about providing play-based learning in a nurturing, supportive environment. Our dedicated teaching team works alongside families to support each child’s unique journey—from their very first days through to preparing for school.

 

This vision guides everything we do—grounding us in our place here in Central Otago, nurturing children with love and care, and building strong, connected relationships with our community.

 

At BestStart Wooing Tree, we foster a nurturing environment where every child feels a strong sense of belonging. Our philosophy is built on three core pillars:

 

We promote open and effective communication among children, educators, and families, supporting tamariki to develop essential language, confidence, and social skills.

 

Located in Cromwell, we recognise the unique needs and strengths of our community. Our programmes reflect local culture and environment, including outdoor activities that celebrate the beauty of Central Otago. By collaborating with whānau and local organisations, we create a welcoming space where every child feels valued, supported, and included.

 

We prioritise building strong, positive, reciprocal, and respectful relationships between children, their peers, and educators. We understand that these bonds are essential for emotional wellbeing, resilience, and lifelong social development.

We believe that strong partnerships with families are at the heart of early learning success. By working together, we build a solid foundation for children to thrive—now and into the future.
