NUMBER SENSE
1- 1.5 YEARS
YOUNG CHILDREN require a super sophisticated and finely calibrated touch. It is vital to get this exactly right, since the odds of creating a math phobia appear to be very high. If unsure what to do, make sure NOT to stress the child, but, instead, represent a relaxed and respectful attitude towards numbers, if a full-on joyful interest in them is not possible.
It is wisest to begin BEFORE children are exposed to the "factory" approach. By no means should a child be compelled to grind out pages of sums and products, unless that child has already developed the right understanding and can take work with joy and ease.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How many children will be there in total?
- We can accommodate a maximum of 5 children per day, at this time, with two carers on hand (both parents).
What ages are right for this program?
- The program is suitable for elementary school children who can express their basic wishes in English, and who can manage short walks around the house and garden.
What benefits can I expect?
- This part you will love. Because we believe children are insatiable learners, we give them tons of fun and easy things to do and to see. Your child will soak-up classic English programming, learn to pronounce words in English, and work together in groups. That said, there is time to rest when required, and our first priorities are harmony within the group and a true emotional connection to oneself. There is a high level of guidance and communication.
Can I join for just one day?
- Our trial period of enrolment is one month, or 4 days. If your child is a good fit for the group, you can then book month-by-month.
