Our History
The foundation is the culmination of years making a difference in the lives of children
For 20 years, Chloe and Wayne Wright have built New Zealand’s largest privately owned early learning childcare organisation, BestStart (formerly Kidicorp).
Through BestStart they make a positive difference in New Zealand society by helping to promote and demonstrate to our youngest members the values of collaboration, sharing, and kindness.
In the earliest years of a child’s life, relationships rather than skills are what’s most important to create confident and able adults.
In January 2015 Best Start was transferred to the ownership of the Wright Family Foundation, a charitable trust. It marked the beginning of the foundation.
The foundation now supports educational initiatives through New Zealand Spelling Bee, Kids’ Lit Quiz and House of Science.
