Our Centre
Open Close

At Active Explorers Blockhouse Bay, we focus on building strong relationships with tamariki and whānau, celebrating cultural diversity and fostering confidence, curiosity and resilience in every child. We believe a child's wellbeing and sense of belonging are the foundation for lifelong learning.

Our centre features bright open plan indoor spaces and a dynamic outdoor environment designed to encourage exploration and physical development. With nature at our doorstep including a jungle like area filled with native birds we bring the outdoors into every learning opportunity.

We care for children from 0 to 5 years across age specific rooms. From our nurturing infant space to our energetic preschool group, each day is filled with music, storytelling, cultural celebrations, nature play and garden time. StoryPark keeps whānau connected to their child's learning journey.

Local care, supported by a bigger team

Our centre is proudly part of Evolve Education Group, giving us the strength and support of a wider network, with access to expertise and resources that help our centre, kaiako and tamariki thrive. 

That means our kaiako can focus on what matters most: building strong relationships with whānau, creating wonderful learning environments and helping every child feel safe, confident and ready to explore their world.

For whānau, it means enjoying all the warmth, connections and care of their local centre, with the added peace of mind knowing there's a whole group working to support quality early learning for your little one.

So, whether your whānau chooses Active Explorers, Lollipops, Learning Adventures or one of Evolve’s other brands, you’ll find a centre with its own unique character and a team dedicated to helping your child thrive.
