Pedagogy

Pedagogy based on memorable learning experiences using multiple modalities based on auditory, visual, kinesthetic experience   uses toys and games to enhance cognitive capabilities enhancing and sharpening thinking skills.

 

Memorable learning experience is created incorporating all senses into the learning process to activate different parts of the brain simultaneously, enhancing memory and learning. It provides multiple pathways for understanding new information, more ways to remember it and more ways to recall it later  by anchoring it in  optimal  state of learning .
