Discover what makes Kiwi Explorers a special place for your child's early learning journey.
Mission Statement
"When kaiako nurture tamariki interests, we grow and learn together"
Vision Statement
"To create a place of whānaungatanga for our community"
Our Philosophy
We believe in the magic of learning through play and discovery.
Nurturing Curiosity
"When kaiako nurture tamariki interests with warmth and caring, both adults and children grow and learn together."
Safe Environment
"We provide a stimulating and safe environment filled with aroha that promotes challenges and growth."
Movement & Learning
"We believe a moving child is a learning child. Every physical experience provides the perceptual knowledge for abstract thinking."
Active Curiosity (2.5 - 4 Years)
Junior Explorers
Toddlers are active, curious, and seeking to make sense of their world. Our kaiako support them by being attentive to their interests and providing opportunities for both new and repeat learning experiences.
"Environment + Language = Understanding"
Transition to School (3.5 - School)
Early Explorers
Our curriculum provides play-based experiences to explore and understand the world. Through Tuakana and Teina group times, kaiako support tamariki as they develop literacy, mathematical abilities, and the social skills needed for school.
Te Whāriki
Aotearoa's early childhood curriculum guiding our four principles.
Whakamana (Empowerment)
Tamariki have the opportunity to create and act on their own ideas, developing knowledge and skills in areas that spark their curiosity.
Kotahitanga (Holistic Development)
We consider how each tamaiti's learning connects with all aspects of their growth—mind, body, heart, and spirit.
Whānau Tangata (Family & Community)
We foster tamariki well-being by embracing whānau and building aroha-filled connections across the child's world.
Ngā Hononga (Relationships)
We build high quality relationships through open communication, trust, respect, and genuine manaakitanga.
