Popoia te kākano, kia puāwai ai Nurture the seed so it will blossom.

At BestStart Paerata Rise, we are a purpose-built centre based inside a new and developing subdivision.


We are located within walking distance from the local school and café, alongside many parks. As a centre, we believe in providing tamariki with the highest quality of care, enabling them with the skills needed to grow as young members of our community.

Paerata Rise gets its name from the ridge that runs through the area, which was once covered in rātā trees. We have embraced this knowledge of our community and worked in collaboration with some of our whānau to name our classrooms after the four stages of a tree's growth.

Our centre philosophy:
At BestStart Paerata Rise, we strive to nurture children as individuals and guide them through their learning journey, from Kākano to Puāwai, through aroha, manaakitanga, whanaungatanga, and kaitiakitanga.

Kind words from parents

"The staff at BestStart Paerata have embraced my son and our whānau, going the extra mile to ensure his health needs are met, he is nurtured and encouraged to be himself and we are informed about what is happening during the day. As a first time mum, I was very anxious about leaving my 13 month old during the day, but very quickly became comfortable when I saw how happy he was, how much he was learning and how expertly his needs were being met. I was also encouraged to contact the centre as often as I needed too to set my mind at ease! Thank you for becoming part of our village, BestStart Paerata!"
