Sport & School & Kindergarten in Whangaparāoa

“I started classes at reconnection training last summer and they have been absolutely amazing for so many reasons. I consider myself as reasonably fit with an active physical job, Gabrielle always pushes me to reach new strengths and boundaries whilst looking out meticulously at form and movement. The classes are always very varied and different and have strong movement focus which has increased my flexibility and strength in muscles I didn't even know I had. I always come away feeling muscle soreness (in a good way) I love that the sessions are outdoors on the beach when the weather omits and it's such a great start to the day with swims in the sea afterwards (totally optional lol) We always have a great laugh when working out and there's always people of varying abilities which are all accommodated for. I couldn't recommend these classes enough!”

“I have had my two boys through Little Poppy's and they have had the best time there. They have a large outdoor area which is perfect for my busy boys. The teachers are very nurturing and always plan for exciting and fun experiences for the children. My children also rave about the meals, which as a parent, is comforting knowing that they are well fed. I highly recommend Little Poppy's Preschool to anyone wanting a homely, safe and fun environment for your precious little ones.”

“My son is very happy here at Beststart Whangaparaoa. The staff are kind and caring, my son has a good bond with all of them. I know he’s in good hands when I leave. He’s happy, confident and thriving there. Would recommend Best Start Whangaparaoa to everyone!”

“All three of my children have attended Thinking Caps in school program. Michele and her team have helped get the kids back up to speed with the basics of Math's after all the missed schooling during COVID. Highly recommend Thinking Caps if your children are struggling. The kids love it and it has really boosted their confidence too. Worth every dollar! x”

“We love Montessori beginnings! My daughter is always happy to go and she talks about how much she loves it. The teachers are nurturing and attentive, and I appreciate all of them. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to have our daughter go here!”

“We are blessed to have our child attending this preschool. She settled in very well from day one even though we came from another country. I can tell from a lot of details that this is a loving and caring place. Educators are passionate to work here and kids here and their parents are lovely. A wonderful experience for all of us.”

“Beautiful studio space and fantastic calibre of teaching. Vicky has a way of challenging you while keeping the class very approachable. The smaller, more private format is great during Covid times.”

“My youngest boy spent over two years at brightbears preeschool and had the most amazing time! The teachers are all so amazing and really made us feel like a family. They are super caring but also make the kids independent and help then get prepared for school. My boy knew how to count, spell and write certain words before he even went to school and it was all thanks to them. They don't have huge enrollments which makes it even nicer and after trying three other preschools/daycare in the area I'm so glad we found you guys. Highly recommend.”

“Dear Coast Kids on Karepiro Team, I hope this message finds you well. As my daughter goes to school today, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you at Coast Kids on Karepiro. The journey from my daughter's first day with you to this point has been nothing short of incredible. Your unwavering dedication, warmth, and professionalism have created an environment where my daughter not only felt safe and secure but also thrived in her early years. Your commitment to providing a nurturing space for her to learn, grow, and develop has been invaluable. The memories she has made, the friendships she has formed, and the skills she has acquired under your guidance are immeasurable. It's evident that you all have a genuine passion for what you do, and it reflects in the smiles of the children who attend your center. Sending my daughter to daycare was not just about finding a place for her while we worked; it was about entrusting her well-being, growth, and happiness to a team of professionals who truly care. Your team has exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are deeply thankful for the positive impact you have had on my daughter's formative years. As she embarks on her next adventure in school, she carries with her the solid foundation and love that she received at Coast Kids on Karepiro. Your role in shaping her early experiences will forever be appreciated and remembered. Thank you, once again, for the outstanding care, support, and guidance you have provided to my daughter. We are grateful to have had Coast Kids on Karepiro as a part of our family's journey. Warm regards,”

“Pure Magic! This is honestly the best daycare centre ever. I feel like a lot of parents don't know about it. It is absolutely incredible. All the the teachers have so much magic with all the children. We are so grateful to be part of Starfish family. All the teachers are so friendly and are so good with the kids that you really feel at ease when you're trusting them with your child. It is their home away from home after all. Our boy found so many lovely friends here, we are forever grateful that we have discovered this centre. There are so many activities for the kids and they learn so much here. The teachers put so much effort into their every day. Thank you all so much! We couldn't be happier. You can really tell that everyone that works here are truly passionate about children and really want to see them learn and explore. One owner based and you can just tell how much effort, passion and magic they have here at Starfish. It is definitely a hidden gem here on the Coast. We are so fortunate to be able to have a place here for our boy. Thank you so much to all the Starfish team, you are absolutely incredible! You make our days every single day! You are truly the best! Nataliya and Tom”
