BestStarts North Harbour

BestStart North Harbour is an early learning centre located by Westfield Mall, Albany. We provide high-quality early education and award-winning childcare for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. We offer full-day and sessional education and care for children aged between 3 months to 6 years old.

At BestStart North Harbour, we value working in partnership with whānau (families) and children through building respectful and trusting relationships. Children develop and learn in a warm and nurturing environment where they are encouraged to guide their own learning and development with the support of our qualified teaching team. We also encourage developing and sustaining healthy eating and physical habits to promote healthy growth.

BestStart provides quality care and education for over 25 years. BestStart is for families who want more from early childhood education. Safe, nurturing and educationally focused, we’re committed to growing caring people with curious minds. Together we teach, learn, and nurture.

Our vision is to work in partnership with families, whanau and communities to enable children to achieve their learning potential.

Ko tō mātou tirohanga hei mahi ngātahi i te taha o ngā whānau me ngā hāpori, kia āwhinatia ngā tamariki, kia tū pito mata ai rāatou, hei rangatira mō āpōpō.

We are committed to being a progressive and responsive leader in early childhood education. We do this by enhancing our services, investing in our people, developing our support structure, and continuously improving the educational outcomes and experiences of our children, families, and the communities we serve.
