BestStart Taita is a wonderful early learning centre located right in the heart of Taita, next to the Walter Nash Stadium. We provide quality education and care for children aged between 3 months to 5 years old.

At BestStart Taita our indoor environments are designed to support the learning and development of every age group. Each room is equipped with high quality, focused resources designed to spark curious minds.

Our internal environment is supported with an expansive outdoor area where children can challenge themselves on the playground equipment while building their independence and self-confidence.

Kāihopara - our beautiful room for our youngest tamariki, starting from 3 months up until they are ready for our next classroom environments. We encourage and support their exploration in our room and our garden. A calm and tranquil space where time slows down for our babies and toddlers and they use their senses to discover our natural resources. We go at the child's pace and follow their lead with sleeping and eating, helping them to feel trust in this place and their teachers.

Pūtohe and Awhero - our two rooms for tamariki aged 2 to 5 years old. Children have a wide curriculum to choose from and develop skills needed for life. Possibilities to play independently or with their friends. Activities to assist with gross motor skills, fine motor skills, taking care of themselves, others, their belongings and their classroom. A shared outside space with room to move their bodies in the open air.

We offer:

20 hours free for 3-5 year olds and WINZ subsidies available* if required
Great teacher to child ratios
Healthy, nutritious meals and snacks.

kind words from our parents

Parent

To all of the amazing teachers and staff at BestStart Taita, we are very grateful and happy with your warm interactions with our kids and family, it has been six amazing weeks so far, you guys have made my kids transitioning very smooth and awesome! I was very worried about leaving our old childcare because the kids had known that environment all their life, but with all your love shown to them, they hardly remember their old teachers. Keep up your great job and know that you are always appreciated.

Parent

You are very good at keeping me informed about what is going on with the centre and also with my own daughter. As a working fulltime mum I really appreciate all that you have done and continue to do for my daughter and all the children you have at your centre. Your staff are very friendly and approachable. I am so proud that my daughter was one of the children that started there when you first opened up. Keep up the great work BestStart Taita.

Parent

I have a five year old who was attending BestStart Taita from the age of three years who recently transited to school as a confident boy with all necessary skills required for starting up his new adventure, and a two year old been attending a centre from the age of 7 months old from my last three year of experience of BestStart Taita I can say its an excellent, fun and friendly environment for all age groups. Teachers are trained, experienced, encouraging and very friendly. The child gets overall personality development. Parents are adequately informed about the child's routine and constantly interact with them to take the child's growth further through Storypark and regular review meetings; All Teachers go the extra mile in caring for the children and support them with everything to bring them to equilibrium. So I would strongly recommend BestStart Taita.
