A Different Kind of Summer Program for Kids and Teens

Every summer, parents try to find creative ways to entertain kids, and provide activities that they will enjoy and learn from.  In my case, it's more on arts and music this year. Recently. I discovered these programs which I found unique and enriching for little and big kids, though I won't be able to enroll my kids anymore due to conflict in schedules.  These are not you typical classes so I hope you'll find them interesting and consider for your children this summer break.


If you have not found a summer program for your child yet, check out these unique programs below that are sure to make an impression on the youngsters.  Call now for inquiries, or maybe ask for a free demo!

Tinker. Create. Innovate. That's the mission of sparkleLAB. It's a design and production studio and toy factory rolled into one.  My daughter and I were able to participate in a demo class where we got to create and sew our first soft toy!

BrainFit focuses on enhancing the 5 Brain Pillars. Below are corresponding programs that help develop your child's skills and address challenges in school and in social settings.  Each child, from aged 3 to 18 years old, will be assessed using the CognitiveMap. The 2-hour standardized test will profile / map out the individual's brain in the five areas: visual, auditory, sensory-motor, attention, and social-emotional to find out what's the best program for him.

The BrainFit advantage is anchored on building better overall performance of the child, allowing them to effectively acquire, retain, and process knowledge.
