BestStart Apirana Avenue

At BestStart Apirana Avenue, we are passionate about nurturing our local everyday heroes.

We believe in growing great members of the Glen Innes community by fostering a shared journey where families and the local community contribute their knowledge, passion, and skills. Our goal is to inspire our young heroes to achieve greatness and make a positive impact on society.

Situated at the St Heliers Bay Road end of Apirana Avenue, our centre is conveniently located near St Heliers, Glendowie, and the local train station. Our central location allows easy access for families and offers a welcoming environment where children can thrive.

We focus on learning through play, encouraging positive emotional and social development. By engaging in imaginative play, children can explore their creativity and develop essential life skills such as problem-solving, empathy, and teamwork. Whether they are journeying through jungles, exploring nature, or becoming scientists, our children are always learning and growing through their play. Our curriculum is enriched by Te Whāriki and the New Zealand Curriculum, ensuring a seamless transition from early learning to school.
