Progressive Edutainment
A new way of teaching for our changing world.
We believe in teaching Twenty-First Century Skills to children, our content not only introduces children to core foundation skills but also aims to develop their enhanced skills and core character traits.
Developing the enhanced skills of communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity will help children to approach complex challenges better. Supporting children’s character growth, curiosity, initiative, persistence, adaptability, leadership and empathy, will help them navigate their changing environment.
Combining all these elements, foundation skills, enhanced skills and core character traits, creates a progressive, holistic learning experience, educating the whole child.
This holistic approach allows us to grow our content library as a child grows, creating engaging content relevant to children depending on their age group, opening up a rich world of storytelling that enables them to explore in their own ways.
