BestStart Pukuatua

At BestStart Pukuatua, we strongly believe that all our children have the potential to lead their learning.

Our approach emphasizes independence and self-directed learning, starting from our under two unit and extending through to our preschool unit. Our Set for School programme ensures that every child is well-prepared for their next educational journey. We also hold a gold Healthy Heart Award, with our center cook preparing nutritious meals daily.

Located conveniently across from Trade Central on Pukuatua Street, BestStart Pukuatua is minutes away from Rotorua Hospital, Boys High School, and the heart of the town. The centre has ample off-street parking, making drop-offs and pick-ups hassle-free. Our diverse community of learners reflects the vibrant and multicultural nature of Rotorua, and we take pride in supporting, nurturing, and learning from each of them.

We understand the importance of communication and partnership with parents. We actively engage families through our transparent communication channels, including regular updates via Storypark and personalized discussions about each child's progress and daily activities. This collaborative approach ensures that parents are informed and involved in their child's learning journey every step of the way.
