Nestled in the heart of Ellerslie’s business district, Active Explorers Central Park is the ideal home away from home for busy families who work in the area. Fully renovated in 2015, our centre offers state of the art learning resources, spacious vibrant rooms, and fantastic new outdoor play areas.
With a strong team of dedicated teachers, two separate rooms for each age and stage, and separate outdoor spaces for under and over 2s, we have everything your child needs to have fun, learn and thrive.
Our philosophy
At Active Explorers Central Park, we believe that the environment plays an integral role in children's growth and development, and responsive and reciprocal relationships with our entire learning community are at the heart of all we do. We recognise Maori as Tangata Whenua and the special relationship inherent in the Treaty of Waitangi. We celebrate all cultural celebrations within the centre and encourage children and families to share knowledge, skills and experiences with the community.
