Brainatics
We are incorporating a US research-based programme developed by a team comprising of research scientists and education specialists, which is currently being applied in kindergartens and primary schools in USA with great success. It offers several innovative interventions based on current brain research that are designed to boost childrens readiness levels and promote classroom achievement. Brainatics uses brain stimulation inputs that can increase exposure to sensory stimuli (instant and resulting brain activity by more than 100% compared to ordinary classrooms. By using heightened stimulation levels with more repetitions of the stimuli for longer duration in all senses, childrens brains receive more preparation before attempting to perform. Brainatics activities integrate heightened visual, auditory, vestibular and kinesthetic inputs to the brain.

B. Parent Education
In the first year, parents must complete a graded home study module conducted by trainers from The BrainChamp Academy, Singapore.
