Meet our Centre Manager

Talofa!
I’m Melissa and I am proudly the Centre Manager at Active Explorers Grey Street. I started here as a teacher in 2016, then a Team Leader in 2018, and now in my new role since 2022. I have a background in both business and Early Childhood education. I am a busy mum to four children, two of whom attend the centre.
Grey Street has a wonderful culture and feel to it and is my home away home. I am very proud of how hard my team works to create this vibe for our tamariki and their whānau.
What makes us special
About Active Explorers Grey Street
At Active Explorers Grey Street, we focus on providing a stable, inclusive, and multicultural environment that supports each child’s social, emotional, and educational growth. We prioritize care and well-being, ensuring every child feels valued, supported, and ready to take on life’s next big steps.
Our purpose-built centre is equipped with spacious indoor and outdoor areas, including age-appropriate play zones, sensory spaces, and sheltered areas for year-round outdoor activities. We offer a variety of resources to enhance early childhood development, from a whānau library to interactive learning experiences.
Centre life is dynamic and engaging, with a range of activities like weekly football sessions, monthly excursions, and daily age-specific learning times. Our rooms are divided by age group, with tailored activities that encourage independence, literacy, numeracy, and socio-emotional skills.
