Bornsmart Parent Toddler Programme

What is Born Smart Mother-Toddler (Parent-Toddler) Programme?

Born Smart Mother-Toddler (Parent-Toddler) Programme is a brain based programme, with interactive 90 minutes sessions between parent/s & child. The Born Smart interactions are filled with carefully designed activities that nurture and build motor abilities, language, socioemotional skills and cognitive skills in growing babies and toddlers.
90% of a child’s brain is developed by the age of three. Children inherit genes from both parents and that decides 50% of their intelligence. The rest will be determined by the environment you raise your child in. Preschool starts at the age of two to three years and by then the brain has gone through most of its intensive phase of development. So make the most of the crucial brain development period and help nurture your child’s growing brain and hone your parenting skills too.

At Born Smart, we seek ‘Developmental Appropriateness.’ A child’s brain is 90% developed by the age of 3, which means that till the age of 3, a child is going through various stages of development, and children will often reach the important milestones in this period at different times. At Born Smart, we take into account those aspects of learning which change amongst babies as they grow and develop from 0 months to 3 years. As Fred Rogers said, ‘Play is the work of childhood and play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning,’ and we understand how important play is to children’s brain development. After all, play makes learning fun, its active learning and encourages children to get involved and helps them develop skills such as:

Physical skills
Emotional skills
Language skills
Cognitive Skills
Social skills
