The Program
Brainy Alley is designed to challenge each child into exploring several approaches to problem solving and presenting solutions. Brainy Alley encourages persistence in the search for more than one solution to any problem, and demands mutual respect among all children.
All activities promote can-do attitudes, cooperation and networking among the children. These different critical skill sets are formed as children are encouraged to help and critique each other positively.
Every class includes a “phrase of the day”, a zany vocabulary challenge, an improv skit and a building activity based on a theme. These activities form the three different parts to every class and are called Expressways, Creative Licenses and Construction Zones and used for program development, not for student use. Brainy Alley fosters these different presentation styles so that each child has opportunities to express themselves in many different ways.
