A glimpse at what our explorers get up!

Story

Welcome to the Young Explorers Early Learning Centre. Young Explorers is a purpose built facility providing care and education for children aged 0-5 years from 7.30am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday.
A mixed age centre provides children with the opportunity to establish and maintain trustful relationships that are conductive to the learning process. Our infants and toddlers will be cared for by a primary caregiver whom will work closely with you and your family establishing routines that are reflective of their home environment.
Children learn best through active exploration and discovery. Our centre will provide your child with the time to play, investigate and question the world around them. We will empower your child by providing them with choices, flexible routines and opportunities for them to direct their own learning.
Our passionate and dedicated educators will invite and encourage you to actively participate in your child’s learning journey. When you share your visions, aspirations and dreams your child’s learning potential is unlimited.


If you can imagine it, you can create it. If you can dream it you can become it.

"At Young Explorers we value the aspirations of our families and whanau. Parents are encouraged to work in partnership with educators and be actively involved in their child's learning journey. We believe a partnership between the centre and the community is paramount and that it provides children with a sense of citizenship and belonging.We regard the environment as the third teacher. Children are encouraged to actively explore and investigate their surroundings. We believe dispositions such as perseverance, curiosity, courage, resiliency, compassion and confidence are qualities that we want to see in our youngest citizens. We strongly believe a mixed age centre encourages children to be empathetic, tolerant and understanding leaders."
