At BestStart Harrison Street, we are growing a community!

Our centre whanau and community are an important part of centre life, as we all come together to enrich the lives of our children.


This reflects our vision of growing a community. We love to give back to our whanau and community in as many ways as we can.

Here at BestStart Harrison Street, we know that children are active learners and we support their independence and choices, following their interests and extending their skills and knowledge. We nurture their relationships and support their learning and development through playful exploration so they can be happy, confident, and capable learners.

Parents and children experience a sense of belonging at BestStart Harrison Street. Families are at the heart of centre life and we value the rich diversity and contribution every family brings to our centre. Connections with our whānau community is core to our vision and centre philosophy. Our teaching team are open, friendly and welcoming and value the aspirations and expectations whanau have for their child.

We acknowledge and promote New Zealand’s bi-cultural heritage by embracing and developing a deeper understanding of Te Ao Maori. We are proud of the cultural heritage of Aotearoa, New Zealand, the cultural diversity of our own community and of the exciting world around us.

Kind words from parents

"I love how you guys do so much fun stuff with the kids that I as a parent don’t have time to do and when I go to pick my child up I love hearing about her day and all the new little things she is doing and getting up to."
Parent
"My son attended BestStart Harrison Street a few years ago and I had no hesitation enrolling my daughter as well as we had nothing but positive experiences. I can tell that all staff genuinely care for and take an interest in the children. My daughter has a great relationship with all of her teachers and there are many creative learning experiences provided for her to participate in. I feel confident that she is in very good hands while I am at work and know that she is getting the best care possible."
Parent
"My children have been attending BestStart Harrison Street for over a year. I chose this childhood centre after hearing good things about it and after visiting just once, my heart was set on it. This has proven to be an excellent choice for my sons! I am so impressed with the staff who are caring and compassionate."
