What is Brainobrain?
Brainobrain is a Unique Skill Development Program for kids between the ages of 5-14 yrs of all abilities. There are 2 components of the program, which focus on:
1.Whole Brain Development (using Advanced Abacus)
2. Personality Development (using NLP-Neuro Linguistic Programming)

What is Whole Brain Development?
As we all know that Our brain has two hemispheres LEFT and RIGHT. Each hemisphere believes to regulate different functions such as

  • LEFT BRAIN
  • - LINEAR
    - ANALYTICAL, FACTS
    - THINKS IN WORDS
    - VERBAL
    - LOGICAL, RATIONAL
    - COMPUTATIONAL

  • RIGHT BRAIN
  • - VISUAL
    - CREATIVE, ARTISTIC
    - THINKS IN PICTURES
    - NON VERBAL
    - INITUITIVE, FEELING
    - MEMORY

    For most people, due to traditional methods of teaching, emphasis is on left brain development and as a result the right brain remains relatively undeveloped. Medical science has also established that during brain development cycle if children are not trained to trigger and to use the connections between left brain and right brain then the connections (synapses between left brain and right brain hemispheres) become weaker or lost. Please refer link from University of Maine Cooperative Extension on brain development in our reference section.
    WHOLE Brain Development focuses on teaching children how to use BOTH the sides of their brain together at the same time.

    What is the Methodology used for Whole Brain Development?
    The methodology used is called VAK.
    V- Visual (Seeing)
    A -Auditory (Hearing)
    K- Kinesthetic (Touch)

    It is proven that anything is best captured when learnt using two or more senses of our body. Brainobrain uses Advanced Abacus which triggers both the sides of the brain which leads to the formation of new neural connections.

    What is an Abacus?
    An abacus, also called a counting frame, is a tool used in ancient times for doing simple calculations. The abacus was in use for centuries before the adoption of the written modern numeral system and was widely used by merchants, traders and Accountants.

    How Abacus helps in Whole Brain Development?
    We use Math as a tool for the whole brain development of children through VAK methodology. Children Visualize the beads in their mind, follow the magic words(Auditory) to do exercises on Abacus and continuous touching(Kinesthetic) the beads triggers both the sides of the brain. Using the Abacus tool in this Advanced way is what creates greater effectiveness and facilitates whole brain development over a period of time.

    What is NLP and how it helps children?
    Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) is the study of what works in your thinking, language and behavior. It is a way of coding and reproducing excellence that enables you to consistently achieve the results that you want as a person. NLP is a process of modeling the conscious and unconscious patterns that are unique to each of us in such a way that we are continuously moving towards the higher potential.

    Using an NLP skill set, children are taught how to incorporate the excellences, how to become more positive thinkers while gaining confidence, motivation and focus or in overcoming fear and shyness.

    In our classes we use NLP techniques to make children become conscious observers and better leaders and decision makers. As a result, the Brainobrain program focuses on the Child’s Whole Brain and Personality Development through fun-filled Skill Development Program.

    What is the effectiveness of Creative Visualization?
    When children visualize, they understand things better and more effectively. Visualization, not only helps them to become good at comprehension, but also to enjoy the activity whether it is reading, spelling or math.

    How is Brainobrain different from other learning enrichment programs?
    Think of Brainobrain as a GYM for the Brain. Our program routinely teaches children physical actions to stimulate the brain, followed by using tools like an Advanced Abacus and NLP to facilitate 'Whole Brain Development' and 'Personality Development'.

  • - Interactive learning through teacher and peer engagement
    - Learning based on conscious engagement of Visual, Auditory & Kinesthetic senses
    - Learn to Perform Physical Brain Exercises
    - Conceptual Learning
    - Conscious Observation to Improve Spelling & Reading

    - Repetition-based program using worksheets
    - Test Preparation
    - Program to Reinforce concepts taught in school

    The by-products or results of our endeavors are:
    - Concentration & Focus
    - Memory & Retention
    - Imagination & Creativity
    - Conscious Observation
    - Superior Numerical Abilities
    - Leadership and Decision Making Skills

    PROGRAM/OPERATIONS

    How is the program administered?
    The program is administered over 10 levels. Each level lasts for 12 weeks. It is once a week program. At the end of each level, children have to pass a test before they can advance to the next level.
    We place children based on age as all the children start from level 1.

    How large are your classes?
    Our classes are deliberately small with about 6-10 children at one time.

    What is the right age to start this program? The minimum requirement is that a child be able to recognize and write numbers from 0-9. The program is suited for children from 4-14 years at all levels and abilities. Not all children of age 4 are eligible for the program. We assess each child of age between 4 to 5 years based on few factors such as ability to move beads and count numbers upto 10. So please call us to schedule our free presentation to know more about our assessment.

    When are classes offered?
    Classes are offered daily after school hours on weekdays from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
    On Saturdays we offer classes from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

    How do you work with children of all levels?
    Some children who come to us are already excellent in Math. Our focus is on whole brain and personality development and so this program would enhance other brain abilities a child needs to develop through creative visualization, conscious observation, memory etc., which will have an impact on overall academic performance. Our NLP skill development is also unique that teaches each child to become a well rounded personality and leader who can model excellence in within and others effectively.

    How much work does my child need to do?
    Your child needs to exercise his/her brain with activities from the book for 10-15 minutes at least 4 times a week. There are no extra work sheets to complete, unless specifically requested by a parent to provide additional challenges for their child.

    What do parents need to do?
    During the first level, the parents need to ensure that the children are using appropriate finger movements and saying the right words when they work at home.
