BestStart Katikati is our place in the community!

Katikati is a small, tight-knit community.


We are known for being the "mural town" and "avocado capital" of New Zealand. Our town thrives on community events and horticulture. There are lots of things to love about Katikati, including the beautiful walks along the Uretara River, community gardens, local markets, community art displays and our beautiful centre. 

We value quality relationships - some of our team have been in the centre for over 10 years and have long-standing connections with families in the community. We celebrate these connections and use them as a stepping stone to creating an atmosphere of belonging for children and families.

Some of our unique learning experiences include:

Gardening: Our Kaiako are passionate about growing beautiful flowers and vegetables in our custom-built raised gardens. We invite all children to be a part of this valuable learning experience. Art and creation is also
Art Experiences: Each day we have art experiences ready and available for tamariki. Our Centre has dedicated spaces to engage in creative arts. We display their artwork in our classrooms and ensure parents have the opportunity to take their child's artwork home.
Dress Up Days: We have regular dress-up days to celebrate special days, birthdays, and holidays throughout the year. We encourage positivity and celebrating every child, their culture and achievements.
