Mother's Day 2025 - A Tea-riffic Afternoon Tea (5)

 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.

    ✔  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):

    • Outcome 1 – Children have a strong sense of identity.
    • Outcome 2 – Children are connected with and contribute to their world.
    • Outcome 3 – Children have a strong sense of well-being.
    • Outcome 4 – Children are confident and involved learners.
    • Outcome 5 – Children are effective communicators.
