Activities

Children love to play, have fun and learn new things. Fostering creativity and imagination in children is one of the most important things you can do for them when they are young. Not only for the extroverted and noisy kids, the Drama lessons help to build children's confidence and self esteem and can therefore also be particularly beneficial for introverted or reserved children as well.

Research has shown that learning music actually improves brain function. According to scientific reports, when children learn music "their brains begin to hear and process sounds that they couldn't otherwise hear. This helps them develop neurophysiological distinction between certain sounds that can aid in literacy, which can translate into improved academic results for kids." Also, music and mathematics are intertwined, and reciting songs will aid their short term memory, and eventually their long term memory.

Children learn best when they are involved in the learning. This means getting to ask questions and have discussions, and it can also mean letting their interests guide planning. Children need their senses engaged. Our Science Club invloves hands-on activities that allow children to do just that, giving them a chance to engage multiple senses. Because Children learn best by doing, hands-on science encourages the children to DO something – observe, ask questions, touch, smell, experiment.

From improving speaking and listening skills to building self-esteem, learning to debate could have many benefits for your child. Our Debate Club offers children the opportunity to learn new skills that will help them grow in confidence and self-esteem as they discover ways to communicate, show leadership, and address peer groups.

There are many benefits to engaging children in Math Club. At Simoko, we realize that it gives children a chance to build a different perspective about mathematics.
