We believe every child’s learning journey should be unique, nurturing their curiosity, creativity and development in a safe environment where they are valued.

That’s why BestStart ensures each child is at the heart of their own learning, connected to whānau and community.​

With centres across New Zealand, BestStart provides a welcoming, safe and supportive environment for children aged 3 months up to 6 years. We focus on learning through play, helping tamariki develop critical skills in communication, creativity, and social development while nurturing a love for learning. Our "Set for School" programme ensures a smooth transition to primary school by incorporating play activities that link to the school curriculum.

BestStart is NZ’s most trusted Early Education service, and has won multiple awards as voted by parents. Learn more about our approach and programmes or find a BestStart centre near you to enrol your child today.
