BestStart Wolverton Street, formerly TopKids Avondale, is located on the corner of Lansford Crescent and Wolverton Street. We provide safe and respectful learning environments for tamariki. Our centre is committed to learning about the rich multi-cultural heritages of our centre and community. We support all of our children to thrive and grow to become confident, competent learners and we ultimately strive to be a home away from home for your tamariki.
