We hear you, we see you, we know you - Ko koe kei ngā taringa, Ko koe kei ngā kanohi, ko koe kei te whatumanawa

At BestStart Mahora, our tamariki are nurtured in a caring, inclusive and loving environment.


We celebrate each child’s uniqueness, empowering them to flourish and thrive at their own pace. Our learning environment promotes a sense of whanaungatanga and supports our children to work with and alongside each other. 

We believe play and learning should be unhurried, child-directed, engaging, and meaningful. We trust and empower tamariki to make their own choices regarding their own learning and centre environment. We promote learning around sustainability and caring for the natural world.

Kind words from parents

"Beautiful indeed! You guys are such a one of a kind centre. Your creativeness, your acknowledgment of all cultures and I think the fact that you perfect the LOVE/HEART/WHANAU aspect in a way that’s evident on a day to day basis, really sets you apart from every other centre. Two thing really stand out and that’s the LOVE and the absolute PASSION you all have, to be able to achieve what you do on the daily. If there is such a thing as perfection, it’s all you ECE teachers without a doubt. Massive thanks for everything you do."
Parent
"From the very first day that we stepped foot on BestStart Mahora premises, the team have been so helpful and welcoming. As first time parents traversing this unknown ECE world, they made it such an easy transition from being with our little one 24/7. We visited many centres in Hastings and no other centre staff went the extra mile for us."
