What should a child be able to do before he or she reaches elementary school?  This argument is different on a country, culture and even family expectation bases.  Sometimes the concentration is centered on reading and memorization, such as learning the letters of the alphabet.  Sometimes there is more emphasis on basic math and science, like learning how to count to 10.  Although these are all important subjects in molding a child’s mind, developing life skills is often overlooked.

The months of September and October are energizing as children participate in the subject of Speech, Drama and Art. Drama takes on a different meaning in the FastracKids world, where expanding a child’s imagination can produce wonderful ideas.  Our students are challenged in every lesson to be creative and express themselves.  When we decide to focus on drama, our children excel in both participation and recognition of the subject.

What is the first thought that comes to mind when looking at a blanket?  An adult can look at a blanket and see it as a way to keep warm.  A child can look at that same blanket and see a cape for a super hero, a ceiling for a fortress or material to make fairy wings.  There is very little that can compare to the imagination of a child.  

Most people that attended the expo had never heard of FasTracKids before, but nearly everyone that stopped by the booth found FasTracKids to be a unique, cutting-edge educational program.  They were surprised by how much information children learn and absorb at such a young age.  Their realization supports independent research showing that the most important learning years for children are from zero to eight years old.  It is during these years in a child’s life that vital brain connections are formed.  The more connections that form in a young child’s mind, the greater that child’s capacity for learning will be.
