Greetings from The Bright Minds Institute!

When we said April showers bring May flowers we truly did not anticipate what was to come last month. The flooding took all of us by surprise and we hope you and your family are all safe and well with minimal damage to your homes.

In the aftermath of the recent storms and flooding in Dubai, businesses across the city are grappling with the impact of the disaster. Among those affected is BOOKENDS, a cherished friend of The Bright Minds Institute. Their bookstore suffered significant damage, resulting in the loss of a large number of books. As a community, let’s rally together to support BOOKENDS during this challenging time. Follow their social media channels to learn how you can lend a hand and help them recover @bookendsae.

Congratulations to our Bright Star of the Month for May – Nadine!

Nadine is a wonderful student in our location-based whole brain training class for 2-year-olds. Despite her young age, her vibrant and joyful energy light up the classroom. She is confident, articulate, and engages with the class in a way that’s truly impressive. Nadine participates in every class activity with enthusiasm. Her caring nature towards her classmates demonstrates kindness and empathy, and she’s always eager to share her experiences with us all! It’s a joy to have Nadine in our class, and her progress is a testament to her hard work and passion. Well done, Nadine!

Capri persistently, seeks solutions, often employing creative methods to overcome challenges, whether it’s figuring out how to stack blocks to build a tower, or finding alternative routes to link things together, Capri demonstrates resilience and adaptability in problem-solving situations.

Embark on an exciting journey of decision-making with our Bright Brain Boost Challenge! In just 2 minutes at home, stimulate your little one’s right brain by engaging in a decision-making activity. Use two picture cards or a toy, and hide it under one of two non-transparent bowls or cups. The challenge lies in the parent’s role—switch the location of the picture cards or cups/bowls from side-to-side to add an extra layer of complexity. Tell your child which picture card you would like them to find, and/or ask your child to indicate which cup/bowl they think the toy is hiding under. This exercise not only sharpens decision-making skills but builds a child’s confidence, strengthens their intuition and helps them become assertive and decisive.

We are wishing you a fantastic month ahead!

Get ready for a memory-boosting adventure with our Bright Brain Boost Challenge! Take just 2 minutes at home to engage your little one in a BRIGHT memory activity. Gather matching picture cards or identical toys and hide them under non-transparent bowls or cups. Encourage your child to uncover the pairs by lifting the bowls one by one. This simple yet effective activity not only enhances memory skills but also sharpens focus and concentration. Watch the joy on your child’s face as they successfully match the pairs. We invite you to share your experiences and any creative variations you introduce to the challenge.

Wishing you a month full of happiness & LOVE!

Happy New Year from The Bright Minds Institute!

What better way to start the 2024 than with a fun Brain Boost Challenge?

Embark on a journey of fine motor skill development with our Bright Brain Boost Challenge! This January, we ask you to spend just 2 minutes engaging in an activity that promises BRIGHT benefits for your little one’s growing brain. Grab a child-friendly shoe or create a simple card with punched holes, and encourage your little one to thread a shoelace through the openings. This activity not only enhances fine motor skills but also promotes hand-eye coordination and concentration. Don’t forget to share your experience and any creative twists you add to the challenge. Let’s lace up together for a BRIGHT BRAIN BOOSTING adventure!

Congratulations to our Bright Stars of the Month for January – Tamara and Farida!

Both Tamara and Farida started private home sessions 3 times a week at just over 6 months old and very rarely miss a session.

Tamara turns 3 this month and still has a Bright Minds class once a week. She knows her days of the week, months of the year, alphabet and can easily count to twenty. Her favorite activity is eye tracking and has an excellent memory. Tamara is also developing very good fine motor skills. Her baby sister Farida, who is now 1 year old, currently has 3 Bright Minds classes a week. She smiles ear to ear as soon as the hello song begins and absorbs everything presented to her. She can easily find her right ear to switch on her imagination and her favorite activity is choosing demonstrating a keen sense of instinct. Farida also has strong fine motor skills as she tries her best to count one-by-one on the abacus with her index finger. 

Well done girls, we are so proud of you!

Our new term begins in just one week at Eggs & Soldiers in Times Square Center! We can’t wait for another exciting year of Whole Brain Training with you and your little Bright Mind! Book your space today at www.thebrightmindsinstitute.com.

Greetings from The Bright Minds Institute!

We’d like to start this month with our November Bright Brain Boost Challenge!

Dive into a world of discovery with your little one in our Bright Brain Boost Challenge! Spend just 2 minutes at home engaging in a fun eye-tracking activity. Find a quiet space with good lighting, and hold a colourful object, like a toy or a hand puppet, in front of your child. Move it slowly from side to side, up and down, and watch as their eyes follow the motion. This simple activity strengthens peripheral vision, promotes eye coordination and visual tracking, essential skills for reading and learning, all while stimulating the RIGHT SIDE of your child’s brain. We’d love to hear about your experience and any insights you gain from this challenge, so please share your feedback with us!

Winter Camp is approaching! Our award-winning camp has a maximum of 10 spaces so please make your booking on our website to avoid disappointment!

Congratulations to our Bright Star of the Month for October, Luna!

Luna’s enthusiasm is infectious, lighting up the room each and every week! Luna displays boundless enthusiasm, remarkable listening skills and unwavering confidence. She hangs on to every word and instruction, absorbing knowledge like a sponge. Luna’s ability to maintain 100% focus throughout the entire 45-minute class is impressive. She is a caring and thoughtful little girl and is always ready to help and encourage her class mates, making her a shining example of what BRIGHT MINDS is all about.

Congratulations Luna!

We have donated 10% of all sales from the month of October to The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.

Greetings from The Bright Minds Institute!

We’d like to start this month with our October Bright Brain Boost Challenge!

Embark on a magical journey of imagination/visualisation with your little one in October’s Bright Brain Boost Challenge! Set aside just 5 minutes of your day to transport yourselves to a world of wonder and creativity. Begin by finding a cozy spot with your little one, perhaps their favourite blanket or cushion, and let your imagination run wild. Describe a whimsical adventure—a voyage to outer space, a deep-sea exploration, or a journey through an enchanted forest—using vivid language and engaging storytelling. If your child is able, encourage them to chime in, adding their own twists and turns to the tale. Not only will this exercise fuel your child’s imagination, but it will also strengthen their cognitive skills. Share your experience with us by tagging @thebrightmindsinstitute on Instagram, and let us know how your little one enjoyed this imaginative adventure!

We are thrilled to announce our Bright Star of the Month for October, Khaldoun!

Khaldoun’s mom first got in touch with us when he was about 4 months old, eager to begin with Bright Minds. Now, at 2 and a half, we are so glad she did! He has weekly private classes and joined our Summer  Camp for the month of August. 

Khaldoun is naturally gifted with music and lights up as soon as the “Hello Song” begins. He knows his days of the week and months of the year and has very strong memory skills. He also excels in problem solving & puzzle activities. Additionally, we are constantly impressed by the large vocabulary and articulate speech that comes out of this chatty and energetic boy. Congratulations, Khaldoun, on earning Bright Star of the Month, our days are full of laughter and so much BRIGHTER because of you!

We would love to hear from you! Please use the QR code & let us know how we can make your experience even BRIGHTER!

We wish our Bright Minds Family a super month, see you soon!

Greetings from The Bright Minds Institute!

Congratulations to our Bright Star for the Month of September, Misha!

Starting group Whole Brain Training classes at just 6 months old marked the beginning of an extraordinary journey in Misha’s development. During the initial stages, the emphasis was on visualisation, fine motor skill development and early communication. This is when Misha began to partake in private 1-on1 classes. This foundation laid the groundwork for subsequent stages of development. Misha is now 2 years old and joined us for 5 weeks of Summer Camp. It was very clear to us that Misha had not only developed advanced cognitive skills but had also exhibited a sense of confidence and curiosity that was amazing to witness. Interacting with peers, exploring new activities, and approaching challenges with enthusiasm, he showcased a level of self-assuredness that was nurtured by his early experiences in Whole Brain Training. Well done Misha!

Don’t forget to share your child’s size because your little BRIGHT star will get a FREE t-shirt when signing up for Fall classes!

We are wishing our Bright Minds Family an amazing start to September and the new school year! We can’t wait to see you!
