BestStart Powells Road Kindy

Welcome to BestStart Powells Road Kindy, located in Hamilton, New Zealand. Our establishment is more than just a school; it is a place where your child will grow, learn, and play. We believe in nurturing your child's inner courage, inspiring them to rise up and break free, and embark on brave adventures.

At BestStart Powells Road Kindy, we view our tamariki (children) as treasures, and it is our role as kaiako (teachers) to unleash their potential and help them strive for the stars. We understand the importance of community connections and encourage our children to explore the world around them. Whether it's a trip to the forest to meet Tane Mahuta or a visit to Norma's farm to feed the pigs, we always find new adventures for our brave explorers.

Our tamariki are also kaitiaki (guardians) of the land. We empower them to care for our community garden, animals, forests, and kindy, teaching them the importance of taking care of their environment. Kindy life is full of adventure, and our play space is designed to foster independence, belonging, creativity, and critical thinking. We believe in giving children control over their own destiny, allowing them to take risks and explore.

Our kaiako value kōrero (conversations) and use language to encourage learning. We also emphasize respect, supporting our tamariki to respect themselves, their belongings, their environment, and their kindy whānau (family). Through respect, we help children acknowledge and process their emotions, preparing them for their journey of life.

As our explorers pave their footprints in their kindy journey, we support them in filling their kete mātauranga (basket of knowledge) to prepare them for the next pathway to school. We also offer support during the transition to school, ensuring a smooth and successful experience for both you and your child.

Each child at BestStart Powells Road Kindy is unique and valued. We take the time to get to know each child and their family, welcoming them with open arms into our whānau (family). We are dedicated to providing an exceptional learning experience for our tamariki, and our van service ensures convenient transportation for families.
