Home based childcare Canterbury
Growing connections through play, learning and community
Tamariki utilising our services in the Canterbury region have the chance to participate in regular playgroups and outings. These activities are fantastic for building connections within the broader community and fostering strong relationships within our HGK family.
Our Educators create enriching learning environments that center on each child’s unique strengths and interests. They receive support from our Visiting Teachers, who collaborate closely with them to ensure a positive learning journey for both children and their families.
We are committed to a holistic approach to early childhood education, encouraging every child to explore their natural curiosity and creativity. Our play-based curriculum is crafted to build a love for learning and also sets them up with grounded skills in social competence, communication and the ability to work alongside others.
Beyond our regular activities, we honor cultural diversity and inclusion by integrating various cultural stories, songs, and customs into our regular routines. This approach not only deepens the children’s understanding of the world but also promotes respect and appreciation for different cultures and traditions.
Our dedication to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment extends to families as well. We actively involve families by creating opportunities for them to engage in their children’s learning experiences and connect with other families. Together, we aim to build a vibrant and nurturing community where every child can flourish and develop.
