BestStart Primrose Street

Welcome to BestStart Primrose Street, located at 41 Primrose Street in Hamilton, New Zealand. Our institution is more than just a school or point of interest - it is a nurturing establishment that believes in the power of Aroha. Aroha, which can be defined as an invisible thread that connects us to people, places, and nature, is at the heart of everything we do.

At BestStart Primrose Street, we understand that when children feel safe and secure, they are able to truly thrive and embrace the magic of learning. That's why we prioritize Whakawhānautanga, a settling process that allows families and their little ones to get to know our dedicated teachers and for us to understand your unique needs and aspirations.

Our intimate play space provides a calm and warm environment for infants to explore with confidence. In the Kōwhai room, we take a unique bicultural approach to planning and assessment, incorporating Atua Māori and holistic Kaupapa learning. We recognize that each child is a precious individual who develops and learns at their own pace.

In our Preschool room, Aroha guides our passionate teaching team. We believe in sparking the magic of learning through discovery and following the interests of the children. When you visit our preschool room, you can feel the excitement and see the wonder in the children's eyes.

We support children with Individual Development Goals that are based on their families' aspirations and our teachers' observations. This Individual Development Plan encompasses the child, their family, and their cultural traditions. By using this holistic approach alongside Te Whāriki, we create an integrated curriculum that connects each child to Atua Māori and Te Ao.

Our experienced Centre Cook prepares delicious and nutritious meals that have earned us the 'Healthy Heart Award'. We believe that fueling our learners' minds and bodies is essential for their growth and development.

But don't just take our word for it. Parents have praised our institution for its inspiring and caring teachers, exciting and fresh learning environment, and the incorporation of messy and creative play. They appreciate the updates on their child's milestones and the teachers' dedication to their development and skills.

Enrolling your child into daycare can be daunting, especially during a pandemic. But at BestStart Primrose Street, we strive to make the process easier for parents. Our welcoming and loving environment ensures that your little one will be well looked after and loved.

At BestStart Primrose Street, we believe that "Learning begins with Aroha." Our focus on social competency in the Pohutukawa room encourages children to come together, collaborate, and inspire one another.
