Mind Lab helps children develop self confidence and self esteem in a fun and enriching way. With today's busy lifestyles and passive entertainment from computer games, television and automated toys there is often little time for our children to develop key social, emotional and thinking skills through active face to face interaction with their friends and peers. Mind Lab is an after school enrichment programme that is both fun for children and teaches them critical life skills. Mind Lab teachers and parents have reported often remarkable improvements in children's approach to tackling problems, reasoning and emotional intelligence skills. Children's self confidence and self esteem grow as they see themselves winning in games and applying the many thinking, social and emotional intelligence skills they are learning not only to the games, but to their daily lives.
