BestStart Montessori The Children's House 1 Clover Drive, Henderson, Auckland 0610

"Montessori philosophy is a wonderful start to a child's success. Being qualified to teach and engrain the curriculum is the most important; without this training, it is intangible. Every trained teacher matters as much as every child - this is evident at TCH. Be open, supportive and ready to implement their teachings and pour your support into your child at Monte and at home. Here at TCH, the highly trained teachers are very mindful and purposeful in all their teachings, activities, and actions. My son has had the best start to his life by attending here."

"Highly recommend this childcare! Two of my tamariki have attended. The teachers are amazing, caring and nurturing. Both kids have progressed a lot with their learning and development, and look forward to kura every day. It's a very diverse daycare and they welcome all cultures and backgrounds. My kids are Samoan, Maori and Malaysian Chinese and their culture and identity is always embraced. I love this daycare and always feel assured that my kids are receiving the best care & education when I'm at mahi."

"100% recommend this center. Both of my children went there and I'm absolutely happy with staff, learning programs and the overall atmosphere. Most of the teachers have been in the center for many years and are genuinely love their job, they are kind and i haven't heard any complaints about them from either kids or parents. The center is relatively small, so kids have a great care and support in their learning. Academics are taught very well, my son learned his ABC and numbers perfectly despite we don't speak/teach English at home. He lives his kindy and very happy to go there everyday. Montessori environment has definitely helped my kids to be organized, to get confidence in their ideas and skills and leadership. As a parent I see a great confidence in them and just can't recommend this center enough"

"Best Start Montessori's greatest asset is its teachers and staff. A lovely, clean, nourishing and welcoming space where identity, culture and care is celebrated and welcomed. The centre manager is flexible, supportive and a mother to all and so are the teachers. I feel that my son has grown so much at the centre. He enjoys going to school, trusts his teachers and feels safe and secure. I highly recommend the centre for those who are looking for an extended home setting."

"I have 2 of my children attending here and could not be happier knowing that they are learning, exploring and thriving every day at BestStart Montessori. I didn't know much about Montessori but can honestly say that it has been a blessing to both my kids (who have very different personalities!). The teachers here all have a genuine love for the children and their learning journeys and I love how it feels like one big family. Not to mention their fees are affordable! I could not recommend this pre-school more. With a new baby on the way, we will no doubt be signing him up to attend as soon as he can :)"
