At BestStart Papakura East Kindy, we see ourselves as nurturers of connection, learning, and belonging —where every moment is an opportunity to grow together.
Our local curriculum is guided by the principles of Te Whāriki and shaped by our values of Whanaungatanga (relationships and belonging), Manaakitanga (care and respect), Ako (reciprocal learning), Collabroation, and Poi Poi (nurturing). These values come together to create a welcoming, inclusive environment where tamariki are empowered to explore, learn, and grow into confident, capable learners.
Inspired by the Whakataukī:
“He waka eke noa”
We are all in this together
“He waka eke noa”
We are all in this together
We believe in the power of unity and connection—working hand in hand with whānau and our community to support the growth and wellbeing of every child. Guided by Whanaungatanga and Poi Poi, we create a nurturing space where tamariki feel safe, valued, and proud of who they are.
Our kaiako strive to honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi and celebrate the rich cultural heritage of Aotearoa by weaving language, values, and traditions into each child’s daily learning. Through Ako and collaboration, we nurture curiosity, creativity, and confidence—encouraging tamariki to explore, discover, and find joy in their learning journey.
With Manaakitanga at the heart of all we do, we nurture every child’s mana and sense of belonging. Together with our tamariki and whānau, we grow a community built on kindness, respect, and shared purpose—because we are all in this together.
