Our Programs

Kid Genius Academy after-school STEM programs for schools

Children ages 4-6

Developed at Oxford University, the Numicon program establishes a strong foundation for essential academic and cognitive skills needed before entering first grade. It helps children understand numbers and number systems, develop mental images, and learn mathematical language through guided and visual play.

HIKARI custom academic enrichment for schools Miami

Children ages 6-12

While mental arithmetic is often seen as the ability to perform rapid calculations without a calculator, the original HIKARI® program goes far beyond this. By incorporating the use of the abacus and the visualization and simulation of its movements, the program activates both hemispheres of the brain and fosters the development of a wide range of cognitive abilities in children during their formative years.

Limited Window of Opportunity

Maximum Cognitive Development:

During ages 4-14, children experience peak neuroplasticity - ideal time to train both hemispheres for balanced cognitive growth.

Decline in Plasticity After 14

After age 14, neuroplasticity significantly decreases - makes it harder to correct imbalances between brain hemispheres.
