At BestStart Girven Road, our community is at the heart of everything we do. We believe tamariki learn and thrive when they feel connected to the people, places, stories, and experiences that make their community special.


Through local excursions, visits to community landmarks, centre events, and meaningful partnerships, we create opportunities for tamariki to explore the world around them, develop a strong sense of belonging, and build lasting connections within the Arataki community.

  • Encourage curiosity, creativity, and exploration through fun, hands-on learning opportunities.
  • Build positive, trusting relationships with tamariki and their whānau.
  • Work alongside your team to create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, confident, and supported.
  • Help foster an inclusive centre culture where every child, whānau, and team member feels welcome and valued.
  • Contribute to the daily running of the centre and be part of a team that learns, grows, and celebrates success together.


Why Join BestStart


  • Ongoing professional development through our Whare Ako learning programme.
  • Career growth opportunities across our nationwide network of centres.
  • Discounted childcare for your whānau.
  • Subsidised health insurance (eligibility criteria apply)
  • A $2,000 referral bonus when you recommend a qualified teacher.*
