The EQM approach to childcare and early learning provides your child with a head start in primary school
We believe children thrive when they feel understood and capable. That’s why our EQM approach blends the best of Montessori and Emotional Intelligence (EQ). This helps the children develop resilience, a strong mindset, a curious mind, and a love for learning that helps them feel, be and do well in school and life.
Our specialised program is grounded in research and thoughtfully designed and delivered by experts who are passionate about giving children the best start in life.
If you value your child’s natural curiosity and intelligence and want them to build the confidence, skills and adaptability to thrive, not only in today’s world, but in a rapidly changing future, Enrich is the right place for your child.

What our families say about us
Inspiring learning
We focus on more than curriculum, we focus on how children feel as they learn. When a child feels safe and well, their mind is open and they are eager to explore the world around them. We provide your child with a secure, nurturing environment and learning experiences tailored to your child’s individual interests and needs so your child can thrive.
Learning to care
Life skills such as empathy, showing kindness and being able to understand and regulate emotions are essential for a happy and successful life.
At Enrich Early Education we create conscious relationships with each child, based on mutual respect, compassion and understanding. By modelling emotional awareness and providing children with a tool-kit for building great relationships, we teach skills that help set them up for life.
Bringing our curriculum to life
At Enrich Early Education, we are committed to the daycare and learning experience of our children as one of the trusted daycare centres on the Gold Coast. Our curriculum is based on the Early Years Learning framework and the proven science of emotional intelligence practices.
