We look forward
to welcoming you
Welcome to Urban Explorers where our passionate staff are dedicated to providing a warm and nurturing environment for your child's early years.
At Urban Explorers, we embrace the rich natural surroundings and integrate them into our educational approach. We implement the Te Whāriki curriculum, ensuring that each child's learning journey is tailored to their unique strengths, interests, and needs.
We understand the importance of strong partnerships with parents/whānau and actively collaborate with them to align our teaching practices with their aspirations for their children. Together, we create a supportive and inclusive community where every child thrives.
Join us at Urban Explorers, where our amazing staff, the beauty of rural living and a carefully crafted curriculum come together to create an exceptional early childhood experience for your little ones.
