BestStart Greerton

At BestStart Greerton, we prioritise building trusting and nurturing relationships with children and their families.

It's important everyone feels a sense of belonging and trust. Trust builds confidence to explore, and from here the magic of learning begins.

Located in one of Tauranga's major suburbs, our centre is a hidden gem tucked behind the local fire station. We cherish inclusivity and celebrate diversity, embracing the richness it brings to our community. Children are at the heart of all we do, and we take immense pride in fostering their well-being. Our adorable guinea pigs, one of them is named Liquorice and our friendly cockatiel, Olly, add to the warmth and joy of our centre.

Respect and care for our environment is very important to us. We encourage thoughts of Papatūānuku in our daily activities. Children learn about sustainability through activities such as recycling and building a natural playground – we even have our very own worm farm!

At BestStart Greerton, we encourage children to express their uniqueness, explore, and stay true to themselves. We value the learning that comes from diversity and foster relationships where we learn from each other and our wider community.
