Our Vision: Being Together, Growing Together

At BestStart Pioneer, every day is treated as a new opportunity to connect, grow, and build on the immense curiosity that will create a life-long love of learning.


We understand the importance of strong, healthy relationships between whānau, children, teachers and community. We work alongside families to ensure the best care and early education possible for your child. 


We embrace open communication and foster trust through regular updates on your child's development and creating a warm, welcoming learning environment. We believe that every child is unique, with something valuable to offer. We guide children in uncovering their unique strengths, and in turn, they’re constantly teaching us.


You'll notice it the moment you walk in the door. Whilst respecting the past, we’ve developed the traditional model of childcare into a more holistic approach, encompassing care, education, inspiration, and connection. It’s a home away from home and a supportive community for you and your family.

Kind words from parents

"Absolutely love this preschool for my four year old. Fantastic staff (low turnover), small numbers of children and a huge playground. The children are always really settled and engaged when I drop off and pick up and they have an awesome range of learning resources."
Carrie-Anne
"The staff and teachers at BestStart Pioneer are incredibly passionate, warm, friendly and welcoming. Every time I pick my child up he is content and happy. I also get a verbal run down on my child's day when I pick him up, which I absolutely love! The communication is fantastic and I'm kept informed about my child's development and what's happening at the centre via an app. I couldn't recommend BestStart Pioneer enough, we love it!"
Emma
"A big thank you to BestStart Pioneer. For 7 years you have been part of our lives and will always be. Thank you to all the staff. You guys are amazing. You have been very kind to us, your dedication and compassion are superb. You are all so accommodating and approachable. It's so nice to come in the centre and you're greeting with lovely smiles, it makes you feel welcome, thank you. Our 7 years of coming in and out of the centre has been so comfortable that it feels like home. Thank you for all the learnings that you taught to our children, the values and experiences."
