BestStart Puni Road

The team at BestStart Puni Road in Pukekohe provide each and every child with the very best education and care. We value our relationships with colleagues, children, parents/whanau and our wider community. If you are looking for a quality infant, toddler or preschool education and care for your child, look no further than BestStart Puni Road.

At BestStart Puni Road Infants and Toddlers, we provide a safe and nurturing place for the children in our care, a place where families feel welcome. Our team of experienced, caring teachers believe that children learn best when they feel a sense of security and belonging. We work closely with parents to follow children’s home routines and share information about their progress.

The first three years are vitally important to a child’s learning and development potential. Our team values a learning programme that arises from the children’s interests, and respects that tamariki can contribute to their own learning. We recognise that infants and toddlers are developing a sense of identity, and we encourage children’s confidence and competence by supporting their independence and self-help skills. Inclusiveness is central to our practice, and we value New Zealand’s bicultural heritage and multicultural society.

We have a warm and homely indoor environment, and a large, natural outdoor play space that provides many physical and sensory opportunities for children.

BestStart Puni Road Preschool provides an environment full of exciting interactions and activities that pre-schoolers can utilse to extend and challenge themselves.

We believe in developing strong partnerships with whanau incorporating their aspirations into their children’s learning.

Our Be School Ready initiative can be seen interwoven throughout our preschool room. Our experienced kaiako (teachers) believe all children have immense potential and are passionate in providing an environment where children build on their independence, confidence and competence in preparation for a life-long love of learning.

Our environment encourages group and solitary play. Indoors, children experience an environment that supports learning in a calm, comforting manner.  Our spacious outdoor area provides opportunities to release the children’s energy, while providing for learning every step of the way.
