As working parents, childcare can sometimes be a balancing act, especially when it comes to after-school hours. You may worry about not being able to supervise your children or provide them with the attention they need to study and complete their schoolwork.
After school programmes provide a practical solution for parents. They allow your children to receive the supervision and support they need to fill their after-school hours productively. To help you decide on the most suitable student care for your child, we’ll share 4 features to look for in after school programmes.
Subject-Centric Enrichment Programmes
The best after school programmes, besides ensuring the safety of your children, provide enrichment activities that stimulate intellectual growth, foster social skills, and reinforce concepts taught at school.
MindSpace provides your primary school children with enrichment classes, focusing on all the core primary school subjects from P1 to P5, including English, Mathematics, Chinese and Science. Lessons are carefully crafted to help your child excel by fostering a deep understanding of concepts and subject matter.
Your children will be in the capable hands of our accredited subject specialist coaches, who will guide your children alongside experienced subject heads.
Effective Learning Techniques
MindSpace employs a curriculum that replaces ineffective rote learning methods with techniques that promote greater understanding, storage, recall and application.
With learning approaches such as ‘the Art of Learning™ and the Optimal Flow Method™ your child will learn to critically analyse, order and manage the large volumes of information they encounter throughout the course of their studies. This will give them an academic edge, especially during exams.
The Right Mindset
At MindSpace, children will be encouraged to develop a Champion Mindset, with values, skills and attitudes necessary to achieve social, emotional and academic success. The Champion Mindset will be fostered through an immersive environment, guided by the 3-Minds Approach. In this approach, children will be nurtured to develop a Champion Mind, a Learning Mind and a Creative Mind.
When used together, these three mindsets will help your child achieve their full potential, whilst also nurturing their values, building a reliant approach to challenges.
Adequate Rest and Nutritious Meals
A healthy body promotes a healthy mind. As such, we at MindSpace are committed to providing your children nutritious meals and adequate rest as part of their after school care. We believe that your child will be able to remain alert and energised with balanced, healthy meals and ever-ready to tackle both their homework sessions and enrichment classes.
Final Thoughts
Choosing the right after school programme for your child can greatly impact their school-going experience. With the support of MindSpace, your child’s life can be further enriched, especially with our proprietary approaches to teaching and learning.
