Mini Dale Explorers

Welcome to Mini Dale Explorers, a premier institution located in the beautiful area of Wainui, Archibald Drive, New Zealand. As an establishment and point of interest, we take pride in offering comprehensive educational programs and professional care for your child. Our experienced team is dedicated to creating a nurturing environment that fosters learning, growth, and exploration.

At Mini Dale Explorers, we understand the importance of providing flexible care options for families. That's why we offer both full and part week care, with our doors open from 7am to 6pm. We believe in sharing your child's learning adventure and ensuring they have access to a range of natural education opportunities.

One of the key aspects of our approach is allowing children to choose the areas that interest them. Our teachers then support these interests and facilitate learning through conferencing. These discussions often lead to the creation of learning stories, which are kept in individual children's portfolios. This personalized approach ensures that every child's unique interests and needs are met.

Our institution boasts a rich environment that encompasses various tactile experiences, literacy and numeracy skills, outdoor play, sand and water play, carpentry, block building, family play, puzzles, art, and much more. We believe in providing a well-rounded education that nurtures the whole child.

At Mini Dale Explorers, we prioritize the well-being and development of your child. Our highly qualified and caring staff are committed to delivering outstanding quality education and nurturing tailored to each child's individual needs. To ensure this, we maintain an excellent ratio of educators to the number of children present.

Our goal is to provide high-quality early childhood care and education while creating a supportive environment for parents and whãnau. We achieve this by offering superior facilities, quality educational equipment and programs, and well-qualified teaching staff.

We view the environment as the third teacher and have designed Mini Dale Explorers to meet the varying developmental levels and learning needs of each child. We firmly believe that children learn through play and value our environment as it supports their learning. Our daily program integrates learning experiences that extend individual children, and our center is filled with natural and open-ended resources that spark children's imaginations and encourage discovery and play.

At Mini Dale Explorers, we are dedicated to providing the highest standard of care and education for your child. Join us on this exciting learning journey and give your child the opportunity to thrive in a nurturing and stimulating environment.
