The first and only daycare I visited was Active Explorers when looking for one for my Son! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly and it has such a family feel when you go in.
My Son absolutely loves his days here, the teachers are amazing, passionate, caring, great at communicating and listen to you as a parent as your child transitions through different stages.
The outdoor area is amazing and kids are encouraged to be outside in all weather which was something that was important to us!
Highly recommend Active Explorers and their amazing team ❤️

Amazing Centre! My almost 4 year old Non-Verbal Autistic daughter goes here and has done since she was 1, We moved from the local area to the other side of hamilton a while ago and looked at other centre's close by but nothing compares to Active explorers!!! The longer commute to the centre is well worth it.My girl absolutely loves it. Races in through the doors, greeted by all staff with good mornings and smiles,  amazing fresh nutritious meals daily from the centre cook on site. Lots of enjoyment and daily activities  to help with learning and development. (Non verbal- now has a few words) Big rooms with big outdoor play areas, daily feedback on how the day was!!
Big Thanks to Lorraine from reception! She has been awesome and ontop of everything promptly and efficiently!! Dawn & Heidi (Centre Managers) are just amazing!! They are  very accommodating with the needs and plans for my daughter, both have been very quick in response to any requests or concerns I have had, very helpful 🙂 the staff are all round great! Big Thanks to Sam!! All the cuddles, bubbles, pushes on the swing, games and love has really made our experience even more enjoyable and comfortable!!
