Active Explorers Melville

Welcome to Active Explorers Melville, a childcare centre in Hamilton, New Zealand that prioritizes the well-being and development of your child. Our dedicated team of educators is passionate about providing the best possible early childhood experience for every child in our care.

At Active Explorers Melville, we believe in creating an inclusive and nurturing environment that helps children build confidence and independence. We encourage our tamariki (children) to become competent explorers, learners, and leaders, tapping into their unique potential and ensuring a positive start to a lifetime of learning.

Our purpose-built centre boasts an amazing outdoor space where children can freely explore nature and challenge themselves. We work closely with whanau (families) to understand and support each child's individual needs, helping them become the best version of themselves.

We understand that trust and safety are of utmost importance to parents when leaving their children in our care. We take pride in the close bonds formed between our educators and the children, and the continuous learning and growth that takes place. Our team puts a lot of effort and thought into creating a fun-loving, safe, and caring environment for the children, providing parents with peace of mind.

We are grateful for the opportunities that Active Explorers Melville provides on a daily basis and for taking such good care of our boys. Leaving our children with the team feels like leaving them with family, and we appreciate the love and care they receive.

Parents have expressed their happiness and gratitude for the balanced structure of Active Explorers Melville. Our centre offers various learning opportunities, guided by fantastic teachers as well as independent exploration. From different topics to outdoor play and music times, we create a positive and fun learning environment for the children. Our teachers consistently provide ongoing love, care, and support, making a difference in the lives of our children.

We would like to commend the past and present teachers of Active Explorers Melville for creating a welcoming, loving, and caring environment where our children feel safe and happy. Their guidance and support have played a significant role in our children's development and school preparation.

Starting from April 1, 2023, more people will be eligible for subsidy, and the hourly subsidy rates will increase, making Active Explorers Melville even more accessible for families.

On Waitangi Day, our children were invited to wear a korowai (traditional Māori cloak) and sign a Treaty of Active Explorers, promoting cultural understanding and respect.

Join us at Active Explorers Melville and give your child the best possible early childhood experience in a nurturing and inclusive environment.
