Growing independence with love & respect.

At BestStart Montessori Bethlehem, we value treating everyone with respect and kindness and we incorporate this into our teaching practices every day.


We believe in intentional teaching of both academic and real-world skills to empower children to become independent, confident learners.

Our gardens provide an opportunity for children to learn about respecting nature and they love to help look after our resident chickens and guinea pigs. They collect eggs, fruit, and vegetables when they are ready and children are encouraged to help prepare snacks to share with their friends at or take home for their family.

By teaching children useful academic skills and the importance of valuing themselves, others and their belongings, we aim to prepare children for the next step in their learning journey for school and in life.

Kind words from parents

"Byron has felt comfortable at BestStart Montessori Bethlehem from day one. The teachers have been amazing and have put countless hours of hard work into his learning and him as a person. I'm so happy I chose this centre for our family."
Parent
"We have been so pleased with the education, manaaki, support and care that both our child and our whole whānau as a whole has received from BestStart Bethlehem. This is a real whānau centred place and we have been blessed with genuine concern and aroha from the staff when life's challenges were upon us. Our child has continued to grow and prosper under their care and we always recommend this place to our whānau and friends."
Parent
"We chose Montessori as it came highly recommended by our friends whose children both had gone through here. Our eldest child started at Nido and we found it a wonderful place for her to explore and develop her independence. Our youngest has just begun and we are really looking forward to seeing her develop her independence."
