PROGRAM This class is designed to help very young children develop their thought process, which is the main foundation of learning preparedness. Children who are encouraged to understand the process of thinking tend to be inquisitive, creative, confident, compassionate, and communicative.

This class goes beyond preparing children to learn mathematics; the main goal of the class is to provide a tool for children to understand their own thinking, hence enabling them to understand events and the environment around them.

For example, a thoughtful child will understand that sharing is not about getting a reward in the end; rather, a child will understand that it is about caring for a friend, having a friend to talk to and to play with. By the same token, a child who understands the logic of shapes will be able to understand that a triangle isn\'t just a shape that exists on paper or in his/her mind, rather it exists around us; he/she will be able to tell us that a mountain is shaped like a triangle, an ice cream cone is shaped like a triangle or to be a bit more advanced, two triangles can make another kind of shape all together... This kind of inquiry process will go infinitely.

What should you expect from the class? Mostly we will focus on interactive and communicative activities; we do not do as much drilling and repetition as our Mathematics class does. Rather we focus on building the core of \"thinking\" and explore them through verbal and written interactions, as well as pictorial usage for children who are still acquiring English. Please note: written interaction doesn\'t mean your child needs to be able to write, rather the teacher will use tools such as journals or lists or other writing means to help children in understanding their thoughts.

We hope to see you in class; nothing is worth more noting in any learning experiences than the building of a thought.
