BestStart Manurewa Central - Where Culture Thrives!
When you walk into BestStart Manurewa Central you will feel a sense of belonging. The strong relationships between our teachers, children, parents, and community are the foundation of our centre. We offer a rich programme celebrating cultural diversity that develops learning, fun and inclusivity.
We are closely involved with the community and have regular trips to the local areas. Our relationship with nearby schools and the support of our qualified teachers means that by the end of your child's learning journey with us, they will have developed their confidence and skills for when they are ready to transition into primary school.
