With strong roots a tree will stand! Mā Ngā Pakiaka E Tū Ai Te Rākau!

At BestStart Lemon Street, we believe that every child deserves a strong foundation for a brighter, more exciting future!

 

We work closely with our families to create a strong, vibrant community where everyone feels valued, respected, and inspired. Together, we nurture the connections that make our tamariki feel safe, supported, and ready to take on the world with confidence.

We also embrace the values of Kaitiakitanga- protecting and cherishing our natural world. Through outdoor exploration and hands-on activities, we empower our tamariki to develop a deep respect for the environment, while enjoying fun, interactive learning experiences.
 
Tailored Curriculum

Our curriculum is designed to ignite curiosity, spark joy, and encourage a love of learning from the very start. With our caring teachers, each child receives the individual attention they need to thrive and reach their full potential. We guide them with respect, kindness, and care, ensuring that every day is an adventure in discovery and growth!
 
At the heart of our program is a commitment to developing the whole child—cognitively, physically, and socially. We’re excited to introduce our new priorities for learning: nurturing social and emotional competence and fostering oral language development. These two areas will help your child build confidence, connect with others, and express themselves effectively—skills they will carry with them for a lifetime.

Communication and Collaboration

We love to keep families informed and involved in their child's learning journey! Our regular updates and open lines of communication ensure that everyone is on the same page, celebrating successes, sharing progress, and supporting areas for growth.

Family Involvement

We actively encourage families to get involved in our vibrant community! Whether it’s participating in classroom celebrations or joining in on field trips, your involvement helps create a supportive and collaborative learning environment where your child can truly shine.

We work closely with families, providing updates on your child’s progress and inviting family participation in special events. Together, we ensure a smooth and confident transition to school through our "Set for School programme".

Kind words from parents

"They are such a fantastic team. They make you feel at home, and each one of the teachers knows your child's needs. Both my children adapt quite fast to them because they are so warm and welcoming."
Jacolize
"The staff are all very friendly, warm and welcoming. They take the time to listen to me and accommodate my sons needs. Within a few days of starting, his picture was on the wall, all the staff already knew him and his likes and dislikes. I feel like he is already part of the team and he has only just started. I would highly recommend this day care centre."
Felicity
"The staff are all very friendly and approachable. The centre is always clean and warm. My child always comes home happy and excited to go to the centre."
