Leaders of our own learning - Kaitaki Akoranga

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.

Kind words from parents

"Thank you for all the kindness, care and attention you have all shown Sam over the last four years which has helped shape him ready for his next journey."
Parent
"In the short time my daughter has been at BestStart I can happily say that I'm glad I made the decision to change daycare! She is getting more comfortable at drop offs. I love the regular updates I get on Storypark and the fun activities they have with the kids throughout the week!"
Parent
"I still remember the first day I had to leave Savannah with you and go to work. I was so scared and nervous but looking at her now, I'm so proud of her. Thank you for helping her become this confident, independent, smart little girl. We appreciate your love and support."
