Get in touchour story
Our story, gosh where to start! We began life as The Playroom and in more recent times have become part of the Evolve Education Group with a great new name - Active Explorers Central City. This has been such a natural and positive progression for us, where we have retained our personal individuality and identity that makes us special as a centre. Yet we are enabled through all the support and resources provided by a larger company in our ability to continually grow and adapt, ensuring we remain responsive to our centre community needs.
So a little about our journey: Our onsite chef Megan provides nutritious balanced meals & snacks which have been accorded accreditation by Healthy Heart NZ and something which she continues to develop, extend and improve on, taking us all on the journey with her. She ensures each individual tamariki is catered to, right through from young infants to our young children including intolerances and allergies. The team work hard, taking pride in providing a clean and hygienic environment which is welcoming and fun and where tamariki have opportunities to learn concepts such as taking responsibility, independence, and helping others. You will also find Helen (Our Beautiful Administrator) or Leslyn (Our Friendly Centre Manager) at the front desk with a warm smile and they can let you through our secure key coded entry system to welcome you in person at the front desk.
ERO Report
The Education Review Office (ERO) is the New Zealand government department that evaluates and reports on the education and care of students in schools and early childhood services. ERO’s reports are used by parents, teachers, early childhood education managers, school principals and trustees, and by government policy makers.
Early childhood services are reviewed on average once every three years. Reviews will be more frequent where the performance of a school or centre is poor and there are risks to the education and safety of the students, or less frequent where a school has a stable reporting history and demonstrates good self-review processes and use of its assessment information.
