Neuro Linguistics and Educational zig-zagging for child learning comes to Singapore

Child learning in Singapore has two new options.

Little Neuro Tree in Singapore has a unique preschool approach to learning through play that uses neuro-linguistics. Both sides of the brains of the children are simulated by engaging the children in three different languages - English, Chinese and Japanese/Malay. According to the program designers, children stimulated neuro-linguistically with multiple languages become little masters of attention,o gain the ability to learn another tongue and becoming more adept at recognizing a wider range of sounds.

FasTracKids in Singapore let every child unleash his or her full potential through play using another unique method called Educational Zig-zagging, which involves complex activities to exercise and form brain connections. Activities are presented in a fun, challenging way to insure that the children are engaged, yet must be repetitive to reinforce the newly installed brain connections for long term benefit. In short, different modalities of the same content are used throughout the lesson to strengthen the children's neural connections, without the child losing interest.
