PLAY IS LEARNING
Learning should be fun! Activities that light up the fun centres in our brain also super-charge the neural pathways that enable us to stay focused as we encounter new information.
Mini-Heroes is a play-based program - perfect for your child's current phase of development. The Adventure starts each week with a story - a scenario that the Mini Heroes then 'step into' and follow through to reach their goal.
NEW SKILLS
In order to solve the mystery, uncover the treasure or discover the secret path - whatever the story requires that week, the Mini Heroes will have to learn and practice new skills. Contextualising learning in the way helps young people see the relevance of a skill and adapt it in new circumstances.
KNOWLEDGE
Mini Heroes students don't miss out on anything that school students or other homeschool students might being doing elsewhere - in fact they actually cover academic content far beyond their peers because the natural learning context requires deep understanding and practical application. The program covers Australian Curriculum content from Maths, Science, English, History, Geography, Personal Development and Health syllabii.
LIFE COACHING
Even at this young age, there are important character qualities that we develop through challenge-based experiences. Qualities like grit, courage, determination, perseverance, respect for self and others - and of course that one thing that you wish you could give them, but they must earn for themselves...
Self-Esteem. Confidence.
THAT is the hidden treasure that Mini Hero Parents are truly seeking!
