A warm, play-based home away from home for tamariki in Ohoka, North Canterbury.
We care for children from 3 months to 5 years, following New Zealand’s early childhood curriculum to guide the way we teach and play. Our kaiako create rich, thoughtful environments where children feel safe, confident and free to explore their world.
At Little Diggers, tamariki learn through curiosity, play and meaningful relationships. Guided by Te Whāriki, kaiako create calm and engaging environments where children feel a strong sense of belonging and confidence to explore.
Our experienced kaiako build strong, caring relationships with every child and their whānau. With 100% qualified teachers, quality ratios, and a calm, nurturing approach, our team creates environments where tamariki feel safe, supported, and confident to explore and learn. Every child is known, valued, and encouraged to grow in their own unique way.
On our Facebook page, you’ll get a real glimpse into daily life at Little Diggers – from messy play to quiet moments, big milestones to everyday adventures. It’s our way of keeping you connected to your child’s world, one photo at a time.
We’re locals too, and we love supporting the community where we work, live and play.
That’s why we’re proud sponsors of Ohoka Ripper Rugby and Ohoka Netball Club – clubs that have been getting tamariki out on the field and court for generations, and we’re proud to be part of that history. We’re also supporters of KidsCan, helping give Kiwi kids across the country what they need to succeed.
