BrainFit® Junior

BrainFit® Junior is a unique integrated programme for children aged 3 to 6 years old that comprises training of key pre-academic cognitive skills, coupled with the delivery of a metacognitive curriculum (where children are guided to become aware of their own thinking process) around 3 key content pillars of Social-Emotional, English and Math Mastery.

Your child will participate in a series of fun and engaging group and personalized activities during each BrainFit® Junior class to strengthen different pre-academic cognitive skills. This is integrated with the teaching of key content areas using a metacognitive approach. 

There are 4 levels in the BrainFit® Junior programme, with each level targeting skill sets to be developed at each age group, increasing in difficulty as the child progresses in age as the brain matures.

What are pre-academic cognitive skills?

Pre-academic skills are located in 5 core brain areas, each with a different specialised function – visual, auditory, motor, focus and emotions. Each core brain area has many subskills.

Here are some examples of these critical pre-academic skills which should be developed in the first 6 years of life. These skills are often “invisible” and “unspoken”, yet they exert a profound impact on a child’s intelligence, ability to learn and succeed in school and life.

Rapid Spatial Estimation

The ability to rapidly estimate spatial quantities, an important foundation for numeracy tasks in Math

Attention Stamina

The ability to stay on task without being distracted by irrelevant information in the environment

Visual/ Auditory Memory

The ability to remember what is seen or heard

Rapid Auditory Processing

The ability to rapidly process minute durations of sounds, critical for strong listening, language and reading skills

Social-Emotional Regulation

The ability to manage own emotions, especially unpleasant ones, and have good social skills to thrive in school

Visual/ Auditory Working Memory

The ability to use memory purposefully for critical thinking and deep problem-solving

Our Curriculum

Term 2: English Cognition

Accelerate rapid auditory processing, phonological awareness and working memory to follow multiple-step instructions and develop strong reading and writing foundations.

Term 3: Math Cognition

Consolidate Mathematical thinking through mental visualisation, spatial processing exercises of 2D and 3D images and strengthening of visual and numerical working memory.

“My 3-year-old son has been training in BrainFit Junior for more than a year now. I have seen nice improvements in numerous areas – attention & focus, learning speed & ability, memory, listening & ability to follow instructions, speech & language skills, gross and fine motor skills, and most importantly, his confidence has increased as a result. Will definitely recommend BrainFit to other families.”

“I have seen improvements in my child’s ability to pay attention and also her memory. Her motor skills have also improved. Her speech, confidence and ability to manage her emotions are much better too. I like the programme because it provides an overall development of my child. The class sizes are small which is good. The trainers are patient and detailed in providing feedback to parents.”
