Meet our Centre Manager

Meet Jan, our Centre Manager! You might be surprised to learn she’s actually 6'1"! In her spare time, you'll find her hiking, walking her dog Ziggy, spending time with her grandchildren, or relaxing at the beach her happy place. A cruise around the Greek Islands is high on her bucket list. Jan loves teaching for those magical “lightbulb moments” when everything clicks.
What makes us special
About Active Explorers Central City
At Active Explorers Central City, we follow a curiosity-led approach where children are encouraged to explore and lead their own learning. We use open-ended materials and recycled resources that inspire creativity and independence while supporting sustainability and care for our environment.
Our centre feels calm and homely, with inviting spaces where children feel safe and supported. Tamariki help grow vegetables, feed our guinea pigs, and take part in sensory and water play year-round. Nature and community connections are a big part of daily life.
We care for children from birth to age six across three rooms: Kakano for infants, Mahuri for toddlers, and Rakau for preschoolers. Each age group enjoys activities tailored to their stage of development, with a focus on relationships, exploration, and readiness for school.
