BestStart Halswell Road

Welcome to BestStart Halswell Road, located at 296 Halswell Road in Christchurch, New Zealand. We are an establishment that is not only a point of interest but also a school, dedicated to providing the best care and education for your children.

At BestStart Halswell Road, we believe in developing our curriculum with the children, for the children. Our approach is guided by our heart, which leads our relationships with both the children and their families. This allows us to establish meaningful connections and understand the individual learning needs of each child.

We strive to make each day a fun adventure for all our tamariki (children). We are passionate about celebrating diversity and educating our center community on important causes. Therefore, we often host cultural celebrations and fundraising events, creating a vibrant and inclusive environment.

Our team consists of dedicated and passionate individuals who are committed to providing the best for our tamariki. Many of us have been part of the center for over five years, and we regularly engage in professional development to enhance our knowledge and teaching practices in child development.

We offer age-specific programs for your child and have three separate rooms to cater to their needs. Whether you prefer morning, afternoon, 6-hour, or full-day sessions, we have options to suit your requirements. Our purpose-built center is well-resourced, and learning is driven by the children's interests, fostering confidence, independence, respect, and creativity.

In our Nursery, we prioritize each child's care and learning, ensuring authentic and responsive interactions. We promote respect, independence, love, security, and a sense of belonging in this nurturing environment.

Our Preschool provides a child-driven learning environment where fun and a sense of humor are essential. We focus on promoting respect, communication, and independence, allowing children to develop skills to build and maintain relationships with others.

The Prep room offers a transition to school program designed to support both children and parents during this important stage. We aim to spark curiosity, encourage collaboration, and strengthen communication skills. Our focus is on developing respectful, confident, competent, and responsible children who have a real love for learning.

We are grateful for the positive experiences our families have had at our center. Parents have expressed their appreciation for the patience, creativity, and love our team has shown their children. They have witnessed their children grow and learn, building a strong foundation for their future. The compassionate and supportive environment we provide has made parenting easier for them, and they feel privileged to be part of our "preschool family."

We also value community involvement and recently held a Breast Cancer Pink Ribbon fundraiser, where children invited their grandparents to participate. These events not only bring fun but also enhance our value of whanaungatanga - coming together to enhance relationships.

Thank you for considering BestStart Halswell Road for your child's early education. We are dedicated to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment where your child can thrive.
