Who We Are
The Hatch is a fully integrated Preschool and Daycare that provides a safe, high quality and nature friendly environment for little ones to learn and grow. We are humbled to be the premier 24/7 childcare facility in Colombo that provides these services under one roof.
Our Story
How do you balance this fast-paced life? Is there more to life than a high-flying job with great perks and social status? What’s the best for your children and the family? Like many of us, Ann and Anjalie were both grappling with these questions as they became young mothers. Both have spent over a decade each establishing their professional careers in a multinational banking corporation. They understood the need of having careers as young parents while giving the best for their children at the same time.
And thus, The Hatch was birthed by two mothers who simply wanted the best for their toddlers. This was never thought or founded as a business. It was their response to a deeper calling in life, something that resonates with their purpose in life – something spiritual. A mission fulfilled by ‘enriching lives’ of those around them.
All the facilities and services offered by The Hatch were designed with 2 things in mind;
- attractive learning environment that is child-friendly.
- One stop solution for both early childhood care and pre-school education.
