Little Feet Taking Big Leaps

At BestStart Opihi, we prioritize building respectful and meaningful relationships within a safe and nurturing environment.


Located in the heart of Temuka, our semi-rural centre has deep roots within the community, and we work closely with parents and whānau to respond to each child’s individual learning needs. Our passionate teaching team is dedicated to supporting tamariki on their learning journey, fostering a strong sense of connection and growth. With two classrooms working closely together, we emphasize tuakana teina relationships, where older and younger children learn and grow together. At BestStart Opihi, we live by the mantra, "Together we take risks, together we grow," encouraging children to explore, take chances, and thrive in their development.

Kind words from parents

"Since moving my twins from one daycare to another I have been welcomed and stood by every step of the way. I know exactly what happened during the school day and what is going on with my twins. There is lots of love and passion when I drop of my kids as I see them wanting to go to their teachers with giggles and open arms."
Freda
"The teachers are honest and reliable, I trust them with my kids. My kids love being at daycare and learn alot."
Amy
"I have had my children at BestStart Opihi for four years now. During this time I have been amazed at how comfortable and relaxed my children have been. This centre is well spaced, the outdoor area is awesome and the children enjoy the atmosphere."
