If children are in a stimulating environment, they undergo positive changes, on the other hand, if they are not stimulated the changes can be negative. We encourage children to make use of all kinds of intelligence and all senses in order to learn faster and easier through music, rhythm, rhymes, pictures, touch, feelings and actions. Children learn best when in the process of learning they employ all senses. This is why appropriate stimulation makes wonders.

“Learning is not only in your head.” - Doctor Carla Hannafard “Smart moves, which develop mind. The basis of Educational Kinesiology.

Learning, thought, creativity, and intelligence are processes not of the brain alone, but of the whole body. The best educational programmes combine elements stimulating both physical and intellectual development of a child because, in fact, they cannot be separated.
 

Children learn through play, jokes and play, which facilitates knowledge acquisition.
Each child is potentially talented in a variety of ways. Each one has a different disposition and their own learning style.

Only 30% of children remember ¾ of what they have heard
40% of children remember ¾ of what they have read
15% of children learn best through touch
15% of children are kinaesthetic children who learn best through movements
 

Our aim is to make the best use of those resources of learning by analysing each child’s learning style  and working out an individual way of teaching. Everything we do aims at providing a child with visual, aural, tactile information with increased frequency, intensity and duration in order to facilitate an orderly development of the brain.

Music makes it possible to achieve within a few minutes what normally can be achieved after weeks of meditation. Some rhythms help relax the body, calm the breath, harmonize the functions of the mind and body and achieve the state of relaxed consciousness, which facilitate transfer the information to long-term memory. It has been proven that such a role can be played by baroque music (Bach, Vivaldi, Corelli), which accompanies children in their physical activities. On the other hand, expressive music, such as Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Haydn or Cuban music spur the brain to acquire new information.

‘Music reduces stress, relieves anxiety, increases energy and improves recall. Music makes people smarter.
“The Music Revolution” – Gordon Dryden, Jeannette Vos
 

According to kinesiologists, the main cause of problems with learning is stress - the blockade of the brain activity connected to the chemical-electric nature of the information transfer. A good remedy for this are simple exercises which unblock the connections between the right and the left hemispheres. The brain functions best when its left and right hemispheres cooperate. A lot of kinesiologic exercises helps increase the level of concentration and coordination, reduce stress, and make learning simpler and more natural. In our work we use brain exercises by Paul and Gail Dennison. A teacher, who knows mechanisms of sensory integration and its role in the process of learning, changes from a teacher giving knowledge into a friend co-creating educational environment, taking into consideration the needs and abilities of the pupils, and respecting unique personality of the child.
