The Brainworks LDP (Learning Development Program) consists of the ‘windows of opportunity’ that maximizes development through a scientific curriculum for Preschool, Structured Learning Day care and curriculum based creative learning for hobby classes. The three programs that run are:

  • Playgroup for 1.5 to 2.5 year old children and Nursery for 2.5 to 3.5 year old children.
  • Structured Learning Daycare for children 1.5 yr – 6 yr old children
  • Hobby Classes is a six-month program held once a week (1.5 hr session) for children 1.5 to 3 year old.
  • Curriculum

    Brainwork has designed its curriculum and methodology based on scientific brain research studies. The goal of Brainworks preschools is to provide a research driven teaching and learning environment that maximises the "window of opportunity" for the brain for children between 0 and 6 years of age.

This area includes at least four classrooms, a play area, a pantry, storage spaces and child-friendly washrooms. All washrooms are self-contained within the classroom or within the school complex.
