Kindergarten Tips

Dr. Jan Bedell • 12 September 2021

From Brain Sprints’ perspective, kindergarten is the culmination of effective development in six areas: tactile, auditory, visual, manual (hand dominance and fine motor ability), language and mobility (coordination and brain organization). When there are gaps in one or more areas of development, children can suffer from a myriad of learning challenges and even learning labels like ADD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, CAPD and many others. Most people try to fix these inefficiencies with curriculum when in fact, curriculum is designed to advance an individual that already has efficient brain development.
