BestStart Peachgrove

Welcome to BestStart Peachgrove, a small and nurturing center located in Hamilton, New Zealand. With a maximum capacity of 36 children, we prioritize building strong connections with all of our whānau (families) and tamariki (children). By understanding the unique needs and aspirations of each family and child, we are able to provide individualized learning experiences and support their growth.

Situated on a quiet suburban street in Claudelands, our center is tucked away down a long driveway. As a classic community nursery and preschool, we take pride in being a part of shaping the future generation. Our small team fosters close relationships among one another, creating a tight-knit and supportive environment that we also aim to model for the children.

To ensure the most developmentally appropriate learning, our center is divided into two rooms. Each room is designed with your child's milestones, interests, and growth in mind, offering a wide range of equipment, activities, and resources. We believe in the power of a village to raise a child, and our nurturing and educational environment provides a safe and loving space for your pepi (baby) to reach their milestones and develop independence and self-management skills. We believe in nurturing our pepi so they can confidently spread their wings and grow.

Our Te Pūrerehua room is dedicated to play-based learning, where our Kaiako (teachers) support and encourage tamariki to become independent, confident, and capable learners. We view our tamariki as innately wise, curious, and capable beings, and through shared learning experiences, we help them nourish their roots and set a strong foundation for future learning. We prioritize bi-cultural learning, ensuring our tamariki have a well-rounded education.

The family atmosphere at BestStart Peachgrove is truly fantastic. Children love coming in to see their friends before and after school, and parents appreciate the personal touch of a smaller center. Our passionate teachers go above and beyond to meet the needs and learning goals of each child, taking the time to get to know the whole whānau. We have received numerous testimonials from parents who appreciate the care, education, and support their children have received at our center.

Whether your child is slow to warm up, has additional needs, or possesses unique talents, our dedicated staff are committed to providing responsive and compassionate interactions to help them thrive. From building confidence to embracing leadership skills, we strive to create a loving and supportive environment for every child.

At BestStart Peachgrove, we value community and celebrate events such as our annual Matariki Celebrations. We also take advantage of the beautiful surroundings, with our tamariki enjoying creative activities like making potions and discovering ice in the playground during the colder months.

We invite you to join our BestStart Peachgrove family and experience the love, care, and support that we offer. Contact us today to learn more about how we can nurture your child's growth and development.
