BestStart Whangaparaoa

The Adventure starts here

BestStart Whangaparaoa is a brand new early learning centre in The Coast, Whangaparaoa. The centre will provide quality education and care for children aged between 3 months to 6 years old.

BestStart Manly has moved to the new centre, bringing with them the much-loved Tallulah the rabbit and the centre’s fish, Mr Fish and Chips. We will nurture our tamariki to be bold, courageous, and confident every day and support tamariki to use their curious nature to explore our environment within the centre, as well as within our local community.

"The adventure begins here!” Our indoor spaces are built to support the learning and development of every age group – Infants, Toddlers and Preschoolers. Each room will be equipped with high quality, focused resources designed to spark curious minds. We'll have an expansive outdoor where children can challenge themselves on the playground equipment while building their independence and self-confidence.

Exploring our Community will be a significant strength for BestStart Whangaparaoa, allowing our tamariki to become competent and confident learners in exploring people, places and things. Local excursions are a part of our curriculum on a regular basis with the knowledge and understanding of a child connecting their worlds between home and centre.

Our close proximity to all thing coast related means the supermarket, library, Arkles Bay Beach, Whangaparaoa College, and main bus route are at our doorstep for us to explore! Healthy, nutritious meals and snacks will be provided throughout the day. We will offer BestStart’s Be School Ready initiative for our preschool children, which will be incorporated into everyday practice, assisting with the next step in their learning journey.

The initiative encourages children to use their developing self-help skills and provides a range of opportunities to extend their independence. Your child’s learning journey and milestones will be captured and shared through one-on-one communication and our online learning portfolios on Storypark. This is a great way to keep up to date with what your child is doing while at the centre. You can log in to see what’s been happening in their day, check out photos of them and comment on their activities to find out more.
