BestStart St Lukes

At BestStart St Lukes, we believe every child is a cherished blossom in a garden of diversity and growth. Our warm, welcoming centre is dedicated to creating an environment where children can freely explore, discover, and express their true selves through play-based learning.

Nestled in the beautiful area known as Watery Caves / Ngā Anawai, we draw inspiration from the stunning natural landscape that surrounds us. Like the resilient cabbage trees (tī kōuka) that thrive here, we celebrate every child’s unique qualities. Our passionate teachers nurture our "little cabbage trees," building strong partnerships with families to support each child’s journey of learning and self-discovery.

Play is at the heart of what we do! We offer engaging, hands-on experiences that spark creativity and curiosity, helping children grow in confidence and independence. Through personalised learning, we ensure every child’s day is filled with joy, laughter, and friendship.

Join us at BestStart St Lukes — a place where every child’s potential is lovingly nurtured, and where we celebrate the wonderful community we’re building together.

We can’t wait to welcome you!
