Early learning in Hope, Nelson
Childcare where movement, play and curiosity lead learning
Kiwi Explorers is an early childhood education centre at 219 Main Road, Hope, welcoming Nelson and Tasman whānau with children aged 2.5 years to school age. Our qualified educators support confident, active learners through play, movement, relationships and preparation for school.
Active Curiosity
Junior Explorers
Our Junior Explorers are active, curious, and seeking to make sense of their world. We provide a stimulating environment where tamariki are encouraged to test limits, explore causes and effects, and engage in sensory-rich messy play.
Pathways to School
Early Explorers
In our Early Explorers room, we focus on school readiness through Tuakana and Teina small group times. Tamariki develop independence, social leadership, and foundational literacy skills in a play-based, supportive environment.
Perceptual Motor Programme
Movement is Learning
At Kiwi Explorers, a 'Moving Child is a Learning Child'. Our specialized PMP develops control, concentration, and eye-tracking through motor experiences, providing the perceptual knowledge essential for conceptual thinking.
