"The research in neuroscience enhances the understanding
of the developing brain. A growing awareness about
the development of the young brain is influenced by
experience. This has raised questions about the importance
of the quality and the timing of experience for young
children. Some of the principles regarding brain-based
learning that researchers have more or less come to
a consensus include: The brain requires a highly stimulating
environment and multi-sensory immersion experiences
for optimal development.
An enriched learning environment will provide persistent
cognitive challenges so that a greater number of dendrites
can be formed and there will be more synaptic connections
between neurons (the primary nerve cells). Nerve cells
send and receive information by means of electrical
impulses flowing through their projecting fibres.
When there are more synaptic connections, there are
more paths for higher-order cognitive functioning."
Philosophy
"We believe that neuroscience suggests that
'Early Brain Development' - rapid brain growth occurs
during early stages of development. 'Critical Periods'
- rapid brain growth results in critical periods (also
called 'learning windows') of development for processes
such as language and perception. 'Optimal Environments'
- enriched environments can result in increased brain
growth and development.
In addition, learning and memory are interconnected.
Memory is the heart of human cognitive functioning
and is an important and essential tool in the learning
process. As such, the removal of memory tasks in our
education system is rather superficial, making it
even more important for us today, as parents or educators,
to empower our children with superb visualization
and learning powers for effective accelerated learning.
Our unique program aims to stimulate children's brain
development as well as to develop their neuroscience
cognitive behaviour. This cognitive behavioural developmental
program helps to equip them with the essential skills
to learn effectively and happily with confidence.
By shortening children's learning curves, they would
have more time for other social activities which further
aids their total development. Children will experience
the joy of learning and become life-long learners."
Objectives
- To provide highly stimulating environment and
multi-sensory immersion experiences for optimal
brain development.
- To provide persistent cognitive development for
young children so that a greater number of dendrites
can be formed and there will be more synaptic connections
between neurons.
- To provide quality cognitive training.
- To develop a positive attitude towards memory
work and learning.
- To build a healthy foundation for growth, cognitive
development and learning.
- To foster independence and self-confidence.
