BestStart Papatoetoe

A nurturing space for tamariki up to two years old, where they receive personalised care and attention. The room is designed to support the development of skills and independence in a homely, supportive environment.

A child-centred, play-based curriculum where tamariki develop social skills and independence. The Tukana Teina approach encourages older tamariki to support and guide younger ones, fostering a sense of responsibility and community. The room also features our Set for School programme, preparing tamariki for their transition to primary school with a focus on literacy, maths, and science.
