Our Philosophy

At Kiwi Explorers, we believe in the magic of learning through play and discovery.

Nurturing Curiosity

When kaiako nurture tamariki interests with warmth and caring, both adults and children grow and learn together.

Safe Environment

We provide a stimulating and safe environment filled with aroha that promotes challenges and growth.

Child-Initiated Learning

We stimulate child-initiated activities with uninterrupted periods of play, with kaiako facilitating and scaffolding each journey.

Our Four Guiding Principles

The woven mat of Aotearoa's early childhood curriculum

Empowerment

Tamariki have the opportunity to create and act on their own ideas, developing knowledge and skills in areas that spark their curiosity.

02
Kotahitanga

Holistic Development

We consider how each tamaiti's learning connects with all aspects of their growth—mind, body, heart, and spirit.

03
Whānau Tangata

Family & Community

We foster tamariki well-being by embracing whānau and building aroha-filled connections across the child's world.

Ngā Hononga
