Our Philosophy
Here at Active Explorers Kaiapoi children develop a sense of belonging in a warm welcoming environment, promoted by a child-led curriculum.
Children will be encouraged to be independent, problem solve, discover and become creative thinkers.
Respect and communication are at the heart of all learning and nurturing interactions.
We value respectful reciprocal relationships and embrace family and community engagement.
We embrace our bi-cultural heritage and honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi and recognise Māori as Tangata Whenua.
Together we foster, value and celebrate children's uniqueness, culture, and individuality and inspire a lifelong love for learning.
