You have a bright child. They are growing up with answers everywhere.
Will they know how to find their own or what to do when the answer doesn't come easily?

Do they ask you immediately? Lose interest? Get frustrated? Or stop, think, and try again?
Why can't I teach my child at home?
Does Your Toddler, Preschooler Do This?
“You show them a puzzle. They say, ‘I can't.’”
“You ask them to finish something. Two minutes later, they're onto something else.”
“They know the answer when they've seen it before—but hits their head with the toy when the problem looks different out of frustration.”
“They ask, ‘Mom, what do I do?’ before they've tried.”
“They make one mistake and want to stop.”
One day you won't be sitting beside them. One day the question will be harder than anything they've seen before.
The goal isn't to give your child every answer. It's to raise a child who knows how to learn and what to do when they don't have one.
With a growth mindset and a strong learning power, they can achieve anything in life.

Smartizen may be right if you...
✓ What is the difference between Smartizen and daycare?
We are NOT a daycare center. We offer intensive in-person Whole-Brain Education sessions for children (1h/week) for kids from 6 months old and up. Parents can join with infants and child learns independently after toddler age.
✓ You believe in early years foundation and does not want to waste potential.
Human brain grows 80% of the first 6 years, you don't want to miss the first 6 golden years for brain acceleration.
✓ You wonder: my child can learn fast, remember things well, what can I do more to support their development?
Things you google at night: what should my child learn next, you are unclear about your child's strengths, what they are ready for and if you are teaching the right level.
✓ You have curious, and smart kids but...
you are not sure what they are ready to learn next and not much materials to teach them at home
✓ Your child loses focus easily:
jump from one activity to another, attention is short and can benefit greatly from focus training
✓ As a parent, you do not leave your child's development to chance
✓ Your child tends to be more quiet with new faces
They know more but they don't say it, they will follow your instruction (receptive communication) but not speak the words (expressive language), or they are too shy to say it in new settings
✓ Your child tends to give up easily: getting frustrated after 10-20s with a shape puzzle
When they can’t solve it, throw toys or hurt themselves like hitting their head or pulling their hair.
✓ Your child loves hands-on learning
They love building things with hands, moving around while learning, very high sensory-seeking, and enjoy play-based learning.
✓ My child is already in daycare, do i still need Smartizen?
Smartizen helps young children strengthen focus, thinking skills and learning resilience through our Whole Brain Education program. We are the only center in GTA that offer Whole-Brain Education that is famous in Japan, Singapore and US.
What unique about us is that we offer age-appropriate enrichment beginning in infancy (6 months old).
Daycare or Montessori schools support your child’s overall daily development. Smartizen gives your child dedicated practice in how to focus, think through challenges and keep trying when learning gets difficult.
Have more questions?

Smartizen is a premium weekly brain enrichment program focused on building the skills behind learning: focus, thinking and resilience. Children attend one 45–60 minute session each week, with 42 sessions throughout the school year.
It is designed to complement daycare or Montessori school, not replace it.

Class is kept at 3kids/teacher. Small ratio. More individual attention for your child, still develop social skills.
