BestStart Waikanae

Discover BestStart Waikanae, where learning meets adventure in the heart of sunny Suburban Waikanae.

Nestled beside the Hemi Matenga track, our centre boasts expansive outdoor learning spaces that inspire curiosity and exploration. Children thrive in our natural playground, where they can climb trees, run freely, and ride bikes in a safe, nurturing environment. We're privileged to back onto the grounds of Waikanae School, allowing us to extend our play areas and explore their playgrounds during school holidays, rolling down hills and discovering new adventures.

At BestStart Waikanae, we believe in the power of play and self-discovery. Our passionate teachers are committed to nurturing each child's unique journey by providing enriching experiences and resources that encourage growth at their own pace. From regular bush walk excursions exploring the wonders of nature to heartwarming visits to the local Bupa rest home, every day is filled with opportunities for children to learn, laugh, and love. Our approach to early childhood education ensures that learning is not just a classroom activity but a lifelong adventure, where every moment is a chance to flourish and every experience is a building block for future success.
