Enrichment Classes
Kids Learn Through Play!
When children play, they develop their language, math and social interaction skills. When play is fun and child-directed, children are motivated to engage in opportunities to learn. That means they want to learn more.

Brain Matter is rolling out a series of enrichment classes to allow children learn through play
1. Little Explorer Kids: Science & Architecture
This is a 2 hour teaser where children aged 9 to 12 years old to learn how urban greenery and architecture work together.
The content was developed by Dr Terrence Tan, a university researcher.
He holds a Masters in Architecture and PhD in Building science. This was also seedfunded by Lifelong Institute.
Below are some of the activities kids have during the sessions…
