BestStart Te Aroha

Nestled under our beautiful maunga Mount Te Aroha you will find the magic of our small rural centre.

The soundtrack of our day is orchestrated by the chimes of the clock tower around the corner and the shrieks of laughter while exploring something new. At night we are lit up by the clock towers lights, but in the day by the excitement of new discoveries.

Our town is part of our identity, and we are a part of Te Aroha's identity too. We all love our small community and embrace this by having a localised curriculum. Many of the locals recognise our green hi vis vests when we are out and about visiting the local schools or supporting our local music and movement programme.

Whanaungatanga is at the heart of everything we do, meaning we view our community as an extended family. Our centre is a place where everybody belongs and are always welcome. We are committed to reflecting the aspirations of our parents to ensure consistency is evident in the home and centre life and that we are working on goals for children’s learning and development together.
