Testimonials

Our boy was at Mana Active Explorers from 6 months old until he started school in December. I can honestly say that he loved every second of it. Always ready to tell us stories of the adventures he was getting up to and the team shared great info on StoryPark. They quickly picked up on his interests and helped him in the areas he needed extra guidance. He especially loved Monday morning Science and is now set on becoming a doctor!!! Highly recommend

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.
