EVERY PARENT WANTS the best for their child – a place where they can learn, be loved, and above all, be happy!

BestStart is dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of children and provides a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment to prepare them for a world of discovery and learning.

The early childhood centre organisation has spent more than 25 years developing both care and curriculum aspects so families feel safe and supported. Children’s best interests are at the heart of every decision BestStart makes, supporting whānau and giving tamariki the best start in a lifelong love of learning. Underpinned by the national curriculum Te Whāriki, BestStart centres provide unique learning experiences through play to develop children’s thinking, physical, social and emotional skills, and to set them up for a smooth transition to school.

A partnership approach with whānau is the glue to each child’s early childhood experience. BestStart works alongside whānau to get the best possible outcome for every child. Ensuring families are a part of their child’s learning journey means they feel heard, understood and connected, which builds trust.

With 260+ centres across New Zealand, BestStart welcomes all families and children.
