BestStart Birkdale

BestStart Birkdale is a now open. The centre will provide quality education and care for children aged between 3 months to 5 years old.

Our indoor environments are built purposely to support the learning and development of different age groups – Infants, Toddlers and Preschool. Each room will be equipped with high quality, focused resources designed to spark curious minds.

Our internal environment is connected to a challenging outdoor area, to encourage physical outdoor learning for your child. Children can challenge themselves on the playground equipment while building their independence and self-confidence.

Healthy, nutritious meals and snacks will be provided throughout the day.

We will offer BestStart’s Be School Ready initiative for our preschool children, which will be incorporated into everyday practice, assisting with the next step in their learning journey. The initiative encourages children to use their developing self-help skills and provides a range of opportunities to extend their independence.

Your child’s learning journey and milestones will be captured and shared through one-on-one communication and our online learning portfolios on Storypark. This is a great way to keep up to date with what your child is doing while at the centre. You can log in to see what’s been happening in their day, check out photos of them and comment on their activities.

Who is BestStart?

BestStart is for families who want more from early-childhood education. Safe, nurturing and educationally focused, we’re committed to growing caring people with curious minds.

Together we teach, learn and nurture.

Our vision is to work in partnership with families, whanau and communities to enable children to achieve their learning potential.

Ko tō mātou tirohanga hei mahi ngātahi i te taha o ngā whānau me ngā hāpori, kia āwhinatia ngā tamariki, kia tū pito mata ai rāatou, hei rangatira mō āpōpō.

We are committed to being a progressive and responsive leader in early-childhood education. We do this by enhancing our services, investing in our people, developing our support structure and continuously improving the educational outcomes and experiences of our children, families and the communities we serve.

Some facts:

  • We’re licensed to educate and care for 15,000 full-time children daily.
  • 18,000 families use BestStart services annually.
  • We have over 270 centres nationwide located from Whangarei to Invercargill.
  • Each centre is managed by a Centre Manager who is supported by a local Area Manager. This gives our centre teams ongoing quality training and support.
  • Te Whāriki, the world-wide acclaimed national early childhood education curriculum, is used in all centres.
  • We have over 4500 permanent teachers nationally. Over 90% of our permanent teaching staff are either fully qualified with a diploma or bachelor of teaching (ECE) or higher, or are in training. These figures are very high by national standards within the ECE sector.
  • We provide a two-year Advice and Guidance Programme for all recently certified teachers, providing further mentoring and training. This gives strong support for teachers from provisional registration to full teacher registration with the NZ Teachers Council.
  • We regularly spend around $4 million on teacher training per annum.

We’re for children

At our heart is our commitment and passion for children. Central to this belief is our focus on the holistic development of children. We support children to explore the world around them, learning through relationships, creating a love of learning in an ever-changing world. Exploration, friendship and fun are part of the journey.

We’re for good

BestStart is a registered charity owned by the Wright Family Foundation. We support initiatives and programmes within BestStart and the wider early-childhood education sector (ECE) that support good outcomes for all children. We do this because we want to make a positive difference to the lives of all children.

Innovation leads us

At BestStart, innovation guides our thinking. We advocate positive change for learners through our research and practice. We’re proud to be thought leaders within ECE, openly challenging ourselves to think differently to provide the best for our children, families and staff.

We’re responsive

Our centres reflect their children, staff and communities. We celebrate individuality, uniqueness and diversity, encouraging a spirit of empathy, understanding and collaboration. Through our responsive relationships and our curriculum, we support learners to choose their own path.

Our people matter

At BestStart people come first. When we grow and develop our people, everyone benefits. We strive for whakamana/empowerment, nurturing a culture of excellence with engaged, talented professionals. Their commitment, skill and passion light our way.

Happy Learning Childcare provides a positive and inspiring environment for our children to learn and grow as individuals.  Our teaching team are passionate, dedicated and enthusiastic in their approach to children learning which in turn provides a fun yet stimulating space for our Tamariki.

We acknowledge Te Whāriki, the New Zealand Early Childhood Curriculum, as the fundamental basis of our practice. The centre is strongly inspired by the educational philosophy of Reggio Emilia in Italy, where educators see children as competent, full of potential, and capable of building their own theories. We strive to provide an aesthetically beautiful yet natural environment that inspires teachers and children to work together as researchers.

We acknowledge our children as capable, strong individuals who have their own unique way of being expressive. We value creativity, culture, imagination and curiosity. We encourage children to think, to wonder, and to embrace a love of learning.

We embrace the gift of nature: EVERY DAY is a celebration of the natural beauty of OUR WORLD.

Little Buddies Learning Centre 2

The foundation of Little Buddies Learning Centre is centered around the child and their learning. We will provide all children with a calm and peaceful environment where they can have fun, play and learn. Our approach to education for our young Tamariki is based on the foundation of the principles, strands and goals laid out in the Te Whariki.

Filled with wonder and joy each child should have an environment where they can explore uninterrupted both in the indoor and outdoor areas. Free access to stimulating resources for children is extremely important as this is the way for them to be the owner of their own learning journey.

We believe that when children are provided with unstructured, child-driven and unexpected opportunities of play settings, they have a chance to discover more about themselves and others. This also allows them to grow their skills and learn to interact in a constructive way as well as build relationships and resilience. This resilience will allow the child to have the capacity to rebound from adversity stronger and be more resourceful.

The role of an educator is not to instruct a child on what to do, instead is to observe the child and allow them to experiment in their own way, making mistakes and finding new solutions. The teacher will encourage the child to pursue interests by focusing on what the child enjoys and create an environment of learning while the teacher observes. While focusing on their holistic development the teacher will help them build their empathy, tolerance and trust towards others in the face of adversity.

It is important to create awareness and educate the children about their impact on the environment. We will incorporate environmental education into daily routines and encourage practices where the children have an appreciation for their natural environment providing a platform for ongoing new learning.

A child’s whanau is extremely important in their development and we will build a partnership with the parents and whanau, working together to achieve their aspiration for their children, whilst encouraging them to participate actively. Each whanau also brings in their own cultural perspective adding to the diverse culture of our centre where we respect everyone. In order to protect and encourage participation we will celebrate their first language, cultural values and traditions within the centre. This is also our commitment to the principle embedded into the Treaty Waitangi to protect our bi-cultural and multi-cultural community.

Transition is always about change. Adjusting to change is a major experience in a child’s life and so we aim to make every single transition as smooth as possible for children and parents. This will also have a special emphasis on transition to school for our young learners so that they continue to be positive lifelong learners who are positive and confident towards change.
