Kaiako (Non-Certificated)

Active Explorers Nelson Street in Greymouth is a warm and welcoming centre where strong relationships, meaningful learning, and a true sense of belonging come together. Our centre provides inspiring learning spaces that reflect the cultures, identities, and natural beauty of our local community.

At Active Explorers Nelson Street, we believe every child is unique. Our localised curriculum supports tamariki to grow socially, emotionally, and culturally, while encouraging them to follow their interests, lead their own learning, and develop confidence through play. With rich open-ended resources and opportunities to care for our veggie garden, there are plenty of ways for tamariki to explore, discover, and have fun.

Joining our team, you'll be part of a passionate group of kaiako who embrace a hands-on, heart-led approach to learning. We create meaningful experiences that foster curiosity, kindness, confidence, and a strong sense of belonging. We also value strong relationships with whānau and our wider community, creating an environment where everyone feels supported and included.

Guided by the Evolve Education Group values — Kotahitanga, Mahi te mahi, Manaakitanga, and Kia manawanui — we foster a supportive environment where Kaiako are encouraged to learn, grow, collaborate, and make a meaningful difference every day.
