At BestStart Marne Street, we lead with a kind heart and curious mind!

Our centre is based in the heart of the Palmerston North riverside suburb of Hokowhitu, close to the town centre. We are in walking distance to popular landmarks like The Esplanade and Manawatu River walkway and are just around the corner from the beautiful Hokowhitu Lagoon.

Each year we gather at a local landmark 'He Ara Kotahi' to celebrate Matariki with not only our centre whanau but our local community. Crossing over our local Awa as we remember lost loved ones and prepare for the coming year.We host our annual inter-hub Athletics Day utilising our local school environment as part of our set for school programme. We have a Community Kindness hub in our foyer where we give with one hand and receive with the other. On one side of the foyer is our sharing shelf were our whanau bring in anything they have to share ie: extra fruit/vege from seasonal harvests to clothes that no longer fit their little ones.
One the other side is our Just One Please basket- each month we partner with Women's refuge, they tell us what items are needed and we as a centre provide these with each family providing just one small item that they add to their weekly shopping.

Kind words from parents

"What makes BestStart Marne Street one of the best centers for kids in Palmerston North. They have the best environment for Kids to nurture their growing mindset during their early years. Special activities and a whole host of events during the year builds their cute bonds with other children. It made my kid want to go to this center everyday. Staff are very helpful in giving advice helping parents by keeping them informed about emerging interests that kids develop during their time at the center. BestStart Marne Street is like a Gold mine and spaces fill up quick, I would suggest getting enrollments as early as possible or face an extensive waiting list. Marne Street truly is a BestStart for kids. Like"
