A day in kinder at Enrich Early Education in Southport
From the moment the children arrive to the calm of the afternoon, every day in Kinder is full of exploration, learning, and connection.
Outdoor adventures
Exploring and learning in the playground
As soon as the children enter the playground, they move to their favourite areas: riding bikes along the path, digging and building together in the sandpit, soaring high on the swings and climbing with confidence on the play equipment. At the same time, some children prefer to start their day with calmer activities, such as reading a book or drawing Christmas-themed pictures.
At Enrich, we prioritise spending time outdoors as it supports big-body movement, social interaction, independence, and calm emotional regulation. These moments are as educational as they are fun.
Group time and stories
Building confidence and imagination
The sunny day allowed the Kinder children to enjoy their group time in the playground. Every morning, group time begins with the Acknowledgment to Country, followed by movement-based storytelling such as “We’re going on a bear hunt” and “We’re going on a dragon hunt.” Children act out the stories with enthusiasm, building confidence, coordination, and imagination. Singing Christmas songs adds to the joy and anticipation of the season (and our much-loved Christmas Carol Show).
Nurturing little bellies
Nutritious and delicious meals
Throughout the day, our chef, Sayaka, prepares delicious, nutritious home-made meals and snacks for the children.

Learning to navigate big feelings
EQ coaching throughout the day
A day at Enrich isn’t complete without moments of calm. During afternoon group time, children practise simple relaxation strategies to calm their bodies and minds.
These activities are part of our EQ program, helping children recognise, name, and express their feelings in a helpful way. EQ gives children the tools to navigate big feelings, build resilience, and form stronger friendships.
Hands-on learning experiences
Montessori education
The educators continuously observe the children to see which activities they enjoy most. They’ll then introduce a follow-up activity to expand their learning and help them reach their milestones in an enjoyable way. For example, when educators recognise that the children enjoy scooping their own food onto their plates, they’ll introduce a learning activity: pouring coloured water into cups and serving it to their friends.
‘Wet pouring’ is a Montessori activity that not only builds coordination and focus, it also encourages sharing, cooperation, and self-confidence — all of which are core aspects of our EQM approach.
Every activity at Enrich is designed to nurture confidence, curiosity, and joy. Whether it’s outdoor play, group storytelling, or quiet moments of reflection, our Montessori-inspired approach ensures children grow every day.
