BestStart Parnell

BestStart Parnell is centrally located and easily accessible, with plenty of parking. We care for children aged from 3 months up until they go to school. We're open daily from 7.30 am - 5.45 pm. Come in and take a tour of our centre, we'd love to show you around!

BestStart Parnell is a warm inviting Centre where children, whanau, and the community are connected through learning. Our multicultural teaching team is passionate about nurturing the learning that matters and using the environment as the third teacher. We nurture our respectful, strong relationships with whanau, tamariki, and each other and pride ourselves in daily open communication with whanau. Together we can make a difference!

We celebrate all cultures, including their rituals and festivals, and abide by the Treaty of Waitangi.

We love to empower our tamariki and see happy learners at work in the environment. Both our inside and outside environments are full of provocations where tamariki can happily explore and be engaged. Our termly themes are shown throughout the environment, making it an exciting learning place where tamariki learn to ask questions and get curious about the world around them.

Our daily intentional teaching activities link into Science, Art, Biology, Geography, and early Math and Literacy. Our focus is on developing independence and confidence in children.

We are delighted to have won the Gold Healthy Heart award. This award was gained by providing healthy daily meals with seasonal fruits daily. We have a sustainable focus and teach, encouraging our tamariki to look after papatuanuku by planting, composting, and harvesting.

We welcome you to visit us and spend some time in our exciting environment. Our door is always open!
