“Play is the work of childhood” (Jean Piaget).
With thinking games specifically developed to enrich children’s critical and creative thinking skills, our goals are to help children strengthen their academic performance, enhance their curiosity and problem-solving capabilities, improve their social and relational interactions, and build authentic self-confidence and resiliency.
We Know Developmental Tools That Can Nurture Learning and Growth
With over 2 decades of experience working with children and adolescents, Dr. Yip has helped many children overcome developmental challenges and reach milestones successfully. Our thinking games tackle various skills that can be implemented in all aspects of life from visual and auditory thinking to logic and movement. Working together, we tailor an enrichment plan to your child’s unique needs and developmental stage to ensure smooth, continuous growth cognitively, physically, socially, and emotionally. It is important to us that each child develops authentic self-confidence that enriches their learning and development.
We Specialize in Helping Children Build Resiliency and Develop an “I Can” Attitude
We provide developmentally appropriate opportunities where our Little Thinkers can create, explore, invent, discover, and relate in a meaningful way. We not only respect, but embrace our Little Thinkers’ unique developmental stages and differences. We help each child build confidence to tackle challenges with thinking games that target specific developmental gaps. Working with each child’s strengths to overcome specific needs, our Little Thinkers develop a belief in themselves to thrive intellectually and emotionally as they naturally progress from one developmental stage to the next.
We Prioritize Critical & Creative Thinking Outside the Box
Rather than using rote memorization, our Little Thinkers develop divergent thinking skills to understand their world while problem-solving outside the box. We provide experiential opportunities that foster higher-level thinking appropriate for each child’s developmental stage. Our thinking games help children build critical thinking skills to navigate their world with curiosity, confidence, independence, motivation, and self-awareness.
We Believe Trial-and-Error Exploration Enhances Success
A primary developmental goal for children is building genuine confidence and effective decision making skills. Our Little Thinkers are encouraged to be active participants in each thinking game and to freely respond in their own unique way in a non-judgmental space. We stress the importance of trial-and-error exploration so children can truly understand the how’s, what’s, and why’s behind a problem.
