At Curious Little Explorers, we believe in nurturing the 'unfurling koru' within each child. Our home-based environments provide a warm and welcoming space where children can explore, learn, and grow. We foster a strong sense of community, embracing both Te Ao Māori and a celebration of diversity. Our dedicated educators are passionate about creating a learning experience that is both engaging and enriching, supporting each child's journey toward becoming confident, compassionate, and curious learners...

We believe in creating a nurturing, secure space where each child feels loved, respected, and valued. Our educators radiate warmth and empathy, fostering a sense of belonging and trust.
Just as the koru spirals back to its roots, we value the strong connections between educators, whānau (family), and the wider community. We foster a supportive “village” where everyone feels a sense of belonging and support.
Like the koru reaching for the sun, we encourage boundless curiosity, inspiring tamariki to explore their world with open minds and a thirst for knowledge. We cultivate a culture of wonder and inquiry, where questions are the seeds of lifelong learning.
Inspired by the koru’s connection to nature, we provide immersive spaces that foster a deep appreciation for Papatūānuku (Mother Earth) and ignite a passion for kaitiakitanga (guardianship). We believe that nature is our playground and encourage exploration, discovery, and respect for the environment.
We believe in the power of small, nurturing environments to foster a sense of belonging and attachment. Our home-based settings provide a warm and welcoming space where tamariki can explore, learn, and grow with their educators, like family.
We journey to Willowbank Wildlife Reserve to discover the stories woven into our land. From encountering our treasured native animals to exploring the rich cultural heritage of Aotearoa, Willowbank offers an immersive experience that aligns with our values of curiosity, respect for nature, and a connection to place.
We believe that play is essential for learning and development, and our gym visits offer a fantastic space for active exploration. From navigating obstacle courses to engaging in imaginative play with gym equipment, children build physical skills, problem-solving abilities, and a love for movement. A music and movement session rounds out our gym experience.
