Give Your Child a Running Start

Little children learn so quickly that it doesn’t take a lot to make a big difference. Now you can give them a chance to learn anything and everything and enjoy every minute.

“The first six years of life are the genesis of genius.”

- Glenn Doman

Understanding The Brain

The brain literally grows by use. How can we use the brain more effectively? It is all about stimulation and opportunity. We have pioneered the most effective and appropriate ways to provide enriched stimulation and enhanced opportunity to bring about brain growth and development. This enriched environment helps the child become more capable and independent. We believe that capable children are effective and happy children and they become effective and happy adults who are capable of making a much better world.

Little Children Love To Learn

Formal education often begins at six—but learning begins at birth or earlier. The first six years of life are much more important than we previously understood. During these early years, the brain is growing faster than it will ever grow again. Young children can learn absolutely anything that we can teach in an honest, factual, and joyous way. Parents can make a huge difference when they understand how to enrich the early years of their child’s life.

Our Parent Programs

Our parents want their children to be fit and healthy, to love nature, appreciate music and art, to be at home in the sciences and most of all to be book worms able to learn about the world. Our newborn program starts from day one. The physical program, early reading, baby mathematics, foreign language, music appreciation and encyclopedic knowledge are all started one step at a time. Parents learn how to introduce anything that a parent and child would like to learn together. Each child is unique. Parents create a program that is right for their child, their schedule and their life.
