Ko te ahurei o te tamaiti arahia ō tātou māhi" | "Let the uniqueness of the child guide our work

At BestStart Marshland Road, we believe every child is a taonga (treasure), and their uniqueness is at the heart of everything we do.


Guided by the whakataukī, "Ko te ahurei o te tamaiti arahia ō tātou māhi" — "Let the uniqueness of the child guide our work," we create a nurturing and inspiring environment where tamariki can flourish.

We are dedicated to fostering curiosity, confidence, and a love for learning in every child. Through personalized care, engaging experiences, and a child-led approach, we empower tamariki to explore, discover, and grow at their own pace. From building friendships to achieving new milestones, our centre is a place where children feel safe, supported, and valued.

We’re here to partner with you on your child’s learning journey, providing the care and education they need to thrive and transition confidently into primary school. Come and visit us to see our vibrant and welcoming space, meet our friendly team, and discover how we can support your whānau. Contact us today to learn more about our programs, fee options, and the unique opportunities we offer for your tamariki!

Kind words from parents

"The teachers have made us feel so welcome as well as ensuring that our daughter has the best care. Kateah has just started in Prep school and loving every minute. She comes home telling us about what she learnt in Prep School and she is so much happier."
Parent
"I love this preschool. The best preschool in the area. Best price, best teachers. I just love. There are separate rooms for the day sleep in the nursery room and the pre-school room, so there is no destruction or noise for sleeping children. Very clean and tidy space, healthy food, a lot of fruits. The manager is very flexible and approachable. 👍👍👍"
