Active Explorers Central City

Welcome to Active Explorers Central City, a vibrant and nurturing early childhood centre located in the heart of Christchurch, New Zealand. As an establishment and point of interest, we are dedicated to providing a high-quality learning environment for children to tap into their full potential.

Our centre is well-resourced and staffed by highly experienced educators who are passionate about supporting children's growth and development. Through rich and meaningful programs, we encourage our tamariki to explore the world around them and unleash their inner-explorer. Regular excursions further enhance their learning experiences, sparking curiosity and fostering a love for discovery.

At Active Explorers Central City, we believe in instilling important values and concepts in our children. They learn the significance of taking responsibility, independence, and helping others, setting them on a path of lifelong learning. Our approach celebrates and nurtures enquiring minds, empowering children to become confident and capable individuals.

We understand that families play a vital role in a child's development, which is why we welcome and encourage whānau participation and involvement. Our centre is a place where parents can actively engage with their child's learning journey, creating a strong partnership between home and school. Together, let's inspire your child to reach for the stars.

Don't just take our word for it - hear from our satisfied parents. One parent shares their initial nervousness about finding the right childcare, but found solace in the loving environment provided by Active Explorers Central City. The dedicated teachers and support staff truly care for the children, ensuring their safety and well-being. Nutritious meals are provided, alleviating the worry of a balanced diet, and children have a blast while parents are at work.

Another parent expresses their appreciation for the welcoming and professional staff who keep them informed about their child's day, fostering open communication. The joy their children experience at the centre is evident as they come home talking about their teachers, friends, and the songs they've learned. The recommendation is clear - their children love it here.

Even families visiting Christchurch from overseas have found a home away from home at Active Explorers Central City. They praise the friendly and capable staff, grateful that their child had the opportunity to experience New Zealand culture and learn a few Maori words. Affordable and easy payment options make it accessible for all families.

Starting from April 1, 2023, more families will be eligible for subsidy, and the hourly subsidy rates will increase, making it even more affordable for parents.

Our tamariki have been engaging in exciting activities recently, challenging themselves with physical experiences and exploring sea life. We also celebrated Holi, the festival of color, spreading joy and happiness among our community.

Come and join us at Active Explorers Central City, where learning is a joyful adventure. Together, let's create a strong foundation for your child's lifelong love of learning.
