A Tea-Riffic Afternoon Tea for Mother’s Day 2025
Mother’s Day at Enrich is a heartfelt celebration of our community’s mothers and mother figures. We curated an enriching afternoon tea to celebrate mums’ beautiful bond with their child(ren). Every detail was thoughtfully chosen to deliver a boutique experience aligned with our centre’s core value: LEARN.
A curated experience to relax while having fun with your child
As the mums arrived, they were welcomed into a tranquil space that blended indulgence and connection. While enjoying a delicious Afternoon Tea provided by our chef, Shasheema, the mums had a range of workshops to choose from:
✔ Teabag Making Workshop: A variety of fragrant herbs, florals, and teas were provided to craft a personalised tea blend. Participants could choose to do it themselves or with the help of their child. The result was a beautiful tea blend to bring home for a calming ritual throughout the weekend.
✔ Mum’s Afternoon Tea: Our garden transformed into an afternoon tea cafe, where we served ‘ladybug and flower appetisers’ made with cherry tomatoes, balsamic glaze, and cream cheese on toast, a fruit platter and delicious cupcakes.
✔ Essential Oil Scrub Making: This activity is organised by Megan, our Centre Director and qualified Aromatherapist, the mums blended essential oils in bath salts, creating a fragrant scrub to take home—a perfect treat for self-care.
✔ Sound Bath Meditation: Led by our yoga teacher Tina, the sound bath offered a moment of deep relaxation, helping mums recharge and reconnect with themselves.
✔ Gift giving: Each mum took home a gift bag filled with their handmade tea and scrub—a personalised reminder of a meaningful afternoon.
A Tea-Riffic Party for the Children
While our mums were being pampered, their little ones enjoyed their own celebration—because Mother’s Day is just as special for the children who love them. The activities:
✔ Music and play: Our “tea-riffic” party in the playground was filled with dancing and bubbles.
✔ Sensory Exploration: From playing with frozen flower bulbs to Montessori-inspired ‘dry and wet pouring,’ the children explored many sensory activities.
✔ Face Painting Heart-themed face painting added a splash of joy and creativity, making the children feel as festive as their mums.
Learning through love: How Mother’s Day links to the EYLF
At Enrich, our 2025 core value of the year is LEARN, and celebrations like Mother’s Day provide rich, real-world opportunities for growth. More than just a celebration, this event helped children develop social-emotional awareness, creativity, and confidence—fundamental elements of lifelong learning, and above all, it made them feel part of a greater community.
By participating in sensory activities, crafting gifts, and celebrating their mums, children connected meaningfully to the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) outcomes 1-5.
A heartfelt thank you to our mums
