At BestStart Petone we explore beyond the distance and draw it near!

At BestStart Petone, we offer more than just quality care—we provide a rich, nurturing environment where every child can thrive.
 
What makes our centre truly unique is the way we blend excellent early learning with a strong focus on wellbeing, diversity, and connection.
We are proud to offer a Gold Star Healthy Heart menu, ensuring that children enjoy delicious, nutritious meals every day. Our kai is freshly prepared onsite and designed to support children's growth, energy, and overall health—because we believe that healthy bodies support healthy minds.
Our large, open playgrounds provide the space children need to move, explore, and challenge themselves physically. Whether it’s climbing, running, digging, or imaginative outdoor play, our environment encourages confidence, coordination, and a love for the natural world.
One of our greatest strengths is our culturally diverse teaching team. Our kaiako bring a wide range of cultural backgrounds, languages, and life experiences into the centre. This diversity enriches our learning environment, promotes inclusiveness, and ensures every child and whānau feels valued and respected. It also helps children learn about the world around them in a way that is authentic and meaningful.
At the heart of our centre is a warm, respectful culture where strong relationships are built with every child and family. When you choose Petone Early Childhood Centre, you’re choosing a place where your child is known, celebrated, and supported to grow in every way.

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"
