BestStart Mosgiel

Welcome to BestStart Mosgiel, a leading institution located at 54 Bush Road in Mosgiel, New Zealand. As an establishment and point of interest, we cater to children from 3 months to 5 years old, with a strong focus on outdoor learning. At BestStart Mosgiel, we believe in providing children with the freedom to explore and have fun in a variety of learning spaces, using all their senses to engage in exploration, investigation, and challenging experiences.

We view children as treasures, honoring their holistic way of being and learning. Our center prides itself on creating a homely feel, where children and families feel that this is their place, their turangawaewae. Our passionate, friendly, and caring teaching team uses quality teaching and everyday activities to foster respect for oneself, each other, and the environment within our community.

For our youngest children, we have a dedicated space that provides a safe and nurturing environment, allowing them to explore and discover at their own pace. We understand the importance of nurturing trusting relationships, and our teachers provide loving and caring interactions in our everyday routines. We also encourage parents to be actively involved in their children's celebrations and learning experiences, fostering a sense of whanaungatanga, or connection.

One of the highlights of BestStart Mosgiel is our large outdoor area in the Mighty Oaks room. Here, children can freely explore a large sandpit, bike track, and numerous climbing challenges. With plenty of shade from large mature trees, children can enjoy nature's treasures while engaging in early literacy and numeracy experiences facilitated by our primary and early childhood trained teachers. Tuakana/Teina relationships empower children to develop a strong sense of manaakitanga, or respect, within our community.

We value every family that joins our BestStart Mosgiel family. Don't just take our word for it, here are some testimonials from our satisfied parents:
