Belonging, Being, Becoming Me!

A child from even before birth is linked to family, community, culture and our place - Aotearoa.


Through these key relationships in the lives of our tamariki, a child's development and learning takes place. 

Belonging is important for tamariki when developing their own identity, this helps to develop a sense of connection.

Being is about children expressing themselves as individuals and developing their personality, culture, and learning.

Becoming is about our tamariki learning and growing, allowing them to understand and build on skills and relationships, and become an active member of society.

In our friendly, home-like centre value parent/whanau involvement and regularly provide social opportunities for you to stay and play. We provide healthy morning and afternoon snacks which the children often help to make themselves, providing learning opportunities in maths, literacy, numeracy, turn taking and the opportunity to develop social skills. They also develop their knowledge of healthy and nutritious foods.

We have recently developed strong relationships with fellow kūra in the community where tuakana teina relationships are being formed, with the older teaching the younger while coming to visit with fun activities. We believe our tamariki also come out of this teaching the older tamariki some things too!

We celebrate many special events at BestStart Parklands, both culturally and for fun. Some of the exciting events you will see in our centre are Plunket week, Easter weekend festivities, Matariki, St Patricks day, Halloween, scooter/bike weeks, NZ Sign Language week, Te wiki o te reo Maori, Waitangi Day, Chinese New Year and so much more.

Kind words from parents

"Thank you so very much for taking care of our little girl. She absolutely loved coming to spend her days with you guys. It was awesome watching her grow and learn and it was fantastic to watch the bond she formed with her friends and teachers. You guys will never know how grateful we were to you for providing a loving, nurturing, fun and educational place for her during what was a very busy two years for us. Knowing she was safe, happy, loved and well fed was a great thing for us every day. Thank you for making us feel like we are well and truly a part of the family."

"We love the regular updates we receive through Storypark, as do our family and friends who all share in his development. They always greet our family with a smile and are happy to see us every time we drop him off. It’s that type of personal attention that makes us feel completely at ease leaving him in their hands"
