About Enrich Early Education
We provide a nurturing centre where every child feels loved, supported and at home
We provide a warm, nurturing environment where your child feels at home, and your family feels supported. Simply because it takes a village to raise a child, and we’ll happily be part of your village.
We believe in child-led learning. Our approach blends the Montessori Method and Emotional Intelligence (EQ) teachings in our curriculum, ensuring your child grows academically, emotionally and socially.
Setting children up for well-being and success, in school and life
At the heart of everything we do is the belief that children are capable, curious and eager to learn. We create an environment that supports the children in reaching their milestones while feeling empowered, supported, encouraged and safe.
Our curriculum is based on the Early Years Learning Framework, enriched with Montessori principles and Emotional Intelligence teachings. This helps the children build confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
Through hands-on experiences and mindful guidance, we nurture emotional intelligence, resilience and self-regulation—essential skills for school, relationships, and life. Our approach to early learning sets children up for success and well-being in school and life.
A nurturing, child-led learning environment
Our classrooms are carefully designed to spark curiosity and the resources invite the children to explore and find their areas of interest.
Our educators and teachers observe the children and adapt the environment to extend each child’s interests and broaden their knowledge. This form of learning, called ‘play’, is education at its best as each child’s skill development occurs as a natural result of their curiosity and desire to discover their world.
What makes us unique
A holistic, family-centred approach to early learning focusing on academic and emotional growth
The EQM approach (Montessori and Emotional Intelligence)
We go beyond traditional child care by integrating Emotional Intelligence (EQ) development into everyday learning. Children learn to self-regulate emotions, build empathy, and navigate social interactions—essential life skills for well-being and success.
Engaging sensory-based learning activities
Our outdoor nature-based learning program fosters curiosity, creativity and environmental awareness.
Sensory activities help children develop self-regulation and strengthen neural connections for academic and social growth.
Community-oriented intergenerational program
Through our grand friends program, children connect with residents of a local retirement home—creating meaningful relationships that foster compassion, empathy and social confidence while enjoying fun activities and conversations.
