BestStart Montessori Taradale

Welcome to BestStart Montessori Taradale! Located in Napier on Gloucester Street, our institution has been providing exceptional care and education for children aged 12 months to 6 years for the past 9 years. As an establishment, point of interest, and school, we offer a unique Montessori experience that focuses on the holistic development of your child.

At BestStart Montessori Taradale, we have two casas to cater to different age groups. Casa di Amici is designed for our younger children, where they are greeted with love and kindness. In Casa della Vita, our older children are welcomed by specialized Montessori teachers who open their world to endless learning possibilities.

Our dedicated teachers model respect, courtesy, and peace in a warm and cheerful environment. They work with your child individually and in groups, using exciting specialized equipment that encourages self-discovery. We believe that the learning environment plays a crucial role in a child's development. That's why we strive to create beautiful, soothing, and wonder-filled spaces that inspire intrigue, respect, and eagerness to learn.

One of the highlights of our institution is the amazing natural outdoor environments we offer. Children have the opportunity to explore plants, study bugs and insects, care for chickens and rabbits, tend to our extensive vegetable garden, swing under the big tree, and enjoy plenty of space to run and play. Our outdoor spaces are unmatched in the early childhood community and provide unique learning experiences.

As part of our commitment to promoting healthy lifestyles, we also provide children with nutritious vegetarian meals prepared with fresh produce from Hawkes Bay. Our own kitchen ensures that your child receives wholesome and delicious meals.

The Montessori philosophy is at the core of our approach. We believe in the innate potential of every child and aim to prepare them for life by encouraging independence, self-discovery, and a love for learning. Our teachers are passionate about fostering the holistic development of your child and creating a nurturing environment.
