BestStart is the place for people who are passionate about early childhood education and making a difference in young lives.<\/p>\n

Our centres are safe, nurturing, and focused on helping children grow into caring, curious individuals. We believe in working closely with families, wh\u0101nau, and communities to support every child in reaching their full potential.<\/p>\n

We value every team member and create an environment where you can bring your authentic self to work each day. We\u2019re dedicated to supporting your personal and professional growth, helping you build confidence and develop new skills. From your very first day, you\u2019ll feel supported and encouraged. Together, we teach, learn, and nurture – making a positive impact in the lives of tamariki and in our communities.<\/p>\n

\"BestStart<\/p>\n

We want everyone at BestStart to feel that they are valued and can bring their real, authentic self to work to support our tamariki, wh\u0101nau, and each other.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A bit about BestStart<\/strong><\/h4>\n

BestStart is a registered charity, proudly owned by the Wright Family Foundation. After making sure our centres and teams have what they need, any additional funding is reinvested into important community initiatives like Plunket, The New Zealand Spelling Bee, the Kids\u2019 Lit Quiz, the Graeme Dingle Foundation\u2019s Stars Programme, and the House of Science (just to name a few). Supporting the wider community is a big part of who we are.<\/p>\n

Across Aotearoa, we have 260 centres that reflect the diverse communities they\u2019re part of. Each centre has its own unique identity, shaped by the people, places, and stories that surround it. We work closely with wh\u0101nau to build strong, trusting relationships and ensure every family feels confident, supported, and connected to their centre.<\/p>\n

At BestStart, we\u2019re passionate about creating a workplace where everyone feels a sense of belonging. Diversity and inclusion are at the heart of what we do, and we value the different perspectives and experiences each person brings. BestStart is a place for learning, but it’s also a place where people come together, feel safe, and are celebrated for who they are<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":61,"featured_media":9947,"template":"","meta":{"content-type":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/explorecareers.co.nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ra-employers\/9884"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/explorecareers.co.nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ra-employers"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/explorecareers.co.nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ra-employers"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/explorecareers.co.nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/61"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/explorecareers.co.nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/explorecareers.co.nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/explorecareers.co.nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/explorecareers.co.nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
