Testimonials

My daughter is 2 years and 3 months. She has been at Active Explorers here since January this year. I have nothing but positive comments. The staff have changed our lives in an incredible way. The development I have seen in my daughter has been incredible.

Being a “rural” preschool they have a much more common sense approach to everything and I feel that this has been the game changer for us.

Just wanted reach out and share my appreciation of all the new events and ideas that you and the team have been busy with.

It has definitely made a positive impact on our child and he looks forward to fun activities at daycare and talks about it at home.

Also want to share that we really appreciate Carolyn and Mat. We definitely see that they are making extra effort with our child and providing him with a great environment to develop his confidence.

Thank you for your beautiful efforts 

Warm, welcoming, nurturing staff and dedicated manager who brought upon lots of positive changes in the center.

Both my kids attended this center and being new in the country, I had peace of mind about their transitions. Today they are confident individuals.

Fondest memories of our time here.

We enrolled our two boys when we were new in the Country, Great reception from the Kaiako (teachers) to the Centre manager.

Very well organised.

We were seeing the growth from the boys daily where they were learning independence, educational plays and interaction with others.

I’d recommend Mana a thousand times to anyone.

Exceptional! The staff provide excellent care, support, and endless fun experiences. My daughter started at 6mths old and I credit these teachers as part of the village that helps to raise her! Active Explorers Hokitika are incredibly invested in the positive growth of every child. If you are looking for childcare on the West Coast go in and meet Caitlin and the dedicated team, you're sure to be impressed!

All the staff at Active Explorers Nelson Street have created wonderful memories for our children. They have nurtured, inspired and created a safe space for all children to take risks in their learning and development. The teachers are committed to building relationships with the children and their families. Thank you for everything you have done for us and our family. 

We are grateful for all that Active Explorers Nelson Street has done to support our children and our family. Staff go above and beyond to care for and learn alongside all tamariki where play and learning is engaging. Our children have developed life-long attributes such as confidence, creativity, independence and to be inquisitive problem-solvers. It is such a positive community to be a part of and we are thankful for their commitment and efforts

Our experience with Active Explorers over the past 4 years has been nothing short of amazing! The teachers are incredibly caring and nurturing, creating a warm and supportive environment for both of our little ones. My children have thrived in their care, as it is such a safe and stimulating space for exploration and learning. We couldn’t be happier with our choice of preschool! Thanks AE team

The centre and all the staff are like family to our kids. Everyone genuinely cares about the children, putting their best interests at heart. The staff are there for the families too when they need some support, which I've really appreciated. The centre is full of colour, children having fun and is an inviting place to explore, which I’m really proud of. We’d be lost without the centre and the team! 

Thank you again for creating such a fantastic environment for our tamariki. Ou child absolutely loves coming to Active Explorers, and we are constantly surprised with the new skills, songs and sayings which she comes home with. We are so grateful for all of the incredible kaiako at the centre who foster our little lady’s learning, and growth into a kind, caring and helpful member of the community.
