Play & Education
We believe the early years are vital for cognitive, emotional, and social growth.
Our philosophy centers on nurturing curiosity, creativity, and independence in young children. Inspired by Montessori principles, we create environments where children can explore and learn at their own pace, guided by their natural interests.
We emphasize open-ended play, encouraging problem-solving, critical thinking, and imagination. By offering carefully curated activities in a supportive setting, we empower children to take charge of their learning journey, fostering a lifelong love of exploration.
At BubbaDesk, we provide a structured environment that supports key developmental milestones through play-based activities. Each month, we focus on different areas of development, ensuring a well-rounded early education that emphasizes secure attachment, independence, and exploration.

The educational play program at BubbaDesk fosters development across multiple domains, including sensory exploration, motor skills, creativity, and cognitive growth. Each month’s activities are thoughtfully designed to introduce young children to key concepts such as environmental awareness, colour recognition, and early STEM principles through hands-on play.
The curriculum supports holistic development, encouraging children to explore their world, build foundational skills, and express their creativity in a nurturing environment.
At BubbaDesk, we believe that having parents nearby is essential for both children and their families.
At BubbaDesk, we believe that having parents nearby is essential for both children and their families. Rooted in attachment theory, we know that close, nurturing relationships are key to a child's emotional and social development. Our unique setting allows parents to work while staying close to their children, providing a sense of security that helps kids explore and learn with confidence.
This proximity reduces separation anxiety, creating a positive experience for both parent and child. It also allows parents to stay attuned to their child's needs, fostering meaningful interactions throughout the day. By combining attachment theory with our play-based, Montessori-inspired curriculum, we not only support a child’s growth but also strengthen the parent-child bond, offering a holistic approach to early education and care.
