A spooktacular Halloween celebration at Enrich Early Education
Tiny pumpkins, superheroes, and witches appeared from every corner of the centre — a telltale sign that our annual Halloween party had begun. The centre buzzed with excitement as the children began getting ready for the spooky fest. We loved seeing the children work together as they helped each other put on their costumes, tie capes, and straighten their hats. These small acts of kindness and teamwork remind us how children learn empathy, connection, and confidence through shared experiences.
Trick-or-treating the Enrich way
As the afternoon began, our playground transformed into a Spooktacular Halloween playground. Parents volunteered to dress in their spookiest costumes and wait for the children to go on a round of trick-or-treating. Each child proudly shared their “trick” — a silly dance, a cheerful “boo!”, or a friendly high-five — in exchange for a small, non-lolly treat such as a slinky, slap band, or spinning top. The joy on their faces said it all!
It wouldn’t be a party without some dancing. So, we put on some spooky tunes and soon after, the children showed us their spookiest dance moves. We loved hearing their little voices sing along to the songs and seeing the joy on their faces.
A celebration for our community
As a family-focused well-being hub, we invite our Enrich community to our events. Having our children’s (grand)parents and caregivers attending means the world to us and the little ones. Seeing their family and educators at the party helps the children make sense of where they belong in the world.
The EQM approach to events
Halloween is more than spooky costumes and dress-ups. They practised essential life skills such as showing gratitude, kindness as well as building confidence. For example, when they greeted parents for trick-or-treating, said thank you for their treats, and proudly showed off their spookiest dance moves with friends. These joyful, natural moments are exactly what our EQM (Emotional Intelligence + Montessori) approach is all about.
At the same time, Halloween helps children explore their emotions. They learn to recognise the difference between things that are pretend-scary — like costumes and decorations — and things that are truly scary. This builds emotional awareness, resilience, and the confidence to manage feelings.
Through an EQ lens, attending events helps the children practice waiting their turn, helping friends, and sharing excitement together in a new environment. These experiences align with the Early Years Learning Framework, nurturing children’s sense of identity, well-being, and communication.
