This is the first in a series of four articles highlighting businesses in Park Green.
BestStart Park Green recently celebrated its official opening in November, led by Papakura MP Judith Collins. Families, kaiako (teachers), and tamariki (children) came together to mark the occasion, enjoying performances from the children and celebrating the vibrant community that has already formed since the centre opened earlier this year.
Caring for tamariki aged from three months to six years, the centre is a vibrant space where learning happens through play and curiosity leads the way. Each environment has been thoughtfully designed to support infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, with high-quality resources and safe outdoor areas that inspire exploration and discovery.
The Set for School programme helps children build strong foundations in early literacy, maths, and science, while also developing social, emotional, and self-help skills to ensure a confident transition to school.
With over 25 years of experience and 260+ centres nationwide, BestStart continues to be a trusted name in early childhood education, proudly recognised as New Zealand’s Most Trusted Early Childhood Provider five times and awarded Gold in the Quality Service Awards for the past eight years. In 2025, BestStart was also recognised as Excelling by the Education Review Office (ERO), the highest result possible.
Enrolments for 2026 are open on the BestStart website.
