Constructivist Approach
SUPERMINDS adopts the Constructivist Approach that emphasizes learning by doing. By promoting a hands-on and minds-on direct interaction with the content of the programme SUPERMINDS encourages children to generate their own set of rules and models, which not then become the basis for further learning experience .
Total Physical Response (TPR). Superminds follows the principles of the TPR approach promoting the associations between Listening Reading and Doing.
The use of concrete materials (Blocks/Bricks/Muppets/Cubes) coupled with computer-generated stimuli (I-Pads/Talking Pens) is a research proven method that fosters the development of cognitive skills and values for life.

Cooperative Learning
There is strong evidence that early social and emotional development and language acquisition are closely interrelated. SUPERMIND kids work in groups of 4-6 and develop their Social Skills, Team Work, Communication, Self- esteem and Responsibility values.

Multisensory Learning
The SUPERMINDS Programme focuses on activating all senses as much as possible. Children take in information through their senses. They learn what they see, hear, smell and do (touch).
The kinesthetic, auditory, and visual stimuli provided by the manipulation of the Blocks, the Bricks and the muppets, the cubes and simulations, as well as by the I-Pads, responses offers access to the content to kids with multiple learning styles. That is why SUPERMINDS is such an effective learning programme.
