Play first, learn first

Bricks 4 Kidz was brought into Singapore through the owners’ strong desire to create a stimulating and creative enrichment environment where kids can focus on playing without the excessive emphasis on learning.  But at the end of the day, will still be able to be intellectually engaged in the process.

This desire has driven the owners to Florida to be personally trained on the curriculum of Bricks 4 Kidz before opening the first of its kind facility in Singapore!

The spirit and philosophy of Bricks 4 Kidz is in line with recent focus on the principle of ‘purposeful play’ in designing preschool programmes.  This principle is guided by placing equal focus on both learning and play.

Creative Learning Corporation (CLCN), operating under the trade name Bricks 4 Kidz®, offers an exciting, educational experience for children ages 3 – 12+, where we learn, we build, we play… with LEGO® bricks. Through a unique franchise business model that includes a proprietary Franchise Marketing Tool (FMT), our specially designed program utilizes theme-based LEGO® model building to provide opportunities for problem-solving and help kids develop an appreciation for how things work. All this takes place while kids are having fun and socializing in a safe, relaxed learning environment

Education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics is already essential for the modern citizen. In the future, it will likely be even more important. However, the U.S. is not doing as well as it could be in providing a STEM education to its teenage students. A 2009 report from Program of International Student Assessment (PISA) ranked U.S. 15-year-olds as 18th and 13th in mathematics and sciences, respectively. This news is especially somber because only 34 nations were assessed by PISA, and many of them are far less wealthy than the U.S.

The problem was noticed long before the 2009 PISA assessment, however. Concerns in the early part of the century resulted in the 2006 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Initiative. This initiative aims to provide better training for teachers and more access to high-quality STEM education for students. The focus of the initiative is on applied STEM topics, the very skills that will be required to train the scientists, mathematicians, engineers and technicians of the future.

Even before the STEM Initiative, many schools had made their own efforts to improve education in these areas. However, the initiative made it possible for both new and existing schools to obtain funding for STEM education. Help from business and government funding enabled many schools to provide a greater focus on STEM topics and ensure that their graduates were conversant in these essential fields.

Because the focus on STEM education was new, schools also pioneered new and innovative methods of teaching to see what effect they had on student success. Smaller classrooms of no more than 10-12 students and a computer for each were debuted. The use of Skype, video conferencing and electronic textbooks brought technology into the curriculum at many high schools.
