‘Brainworks’ is an initiative of KKEL (Kangaroo Kids Education Ltd) with a publishing tie up with Popular Prakashan to reach the mass audience. To make the highest quality kids’ education available to the masses, Brainworks is targeting the launch of 150 schools in various cities across the nation in the first year of operation. Of these Brainworks has already launched four schools in Nagpur, in the areas of Ramnagar, Chhatrapati Nagar, Shankar Nagar and Civil Lines.

‘Brainworks’ has designed its curriculum and methodology based on scientific brain research studies. The goal of Brainworks preschools is to provide a research driven teaching and learning environment that maximizes the ‘window of opportunity’ for the brain for children between 0 to 6 years of age.

Ms. Lina Ashar Educationist and Founder of Brainworks, elaborates, “There has been in the last ten years an explosion of knowledge in neurobiology and behavioral sciences. At Brainworks we are applying these scientific advances to strengthen early childhood education as the early childhood years lay the foundation of all subsequent learning of an individual. Nagpur is one of the first cities where we will be spreading our wings.”

Brainworks brings a world class scientific and affordable education system within the reach of every child, in an atmosphere of warmth and friendship to respond to the individual needs, interests and maturity levels of each child. ‘Brainworks’ enables children to develop their social, emotional, physical, and academic skills resulting in a joy toward learning. Parent participation is an integral part of the programme at Brainworks. The aim is to make each parent become more aware of the child’s development, behavior patterns, and positive guidance techniques. Brainworks strives to nurture and encourage the natural qualities of creativity, curiosity and eagerness to learn in our children who are guided to develop to their fullest potential.

All Brainworks schools are located conveniently in residential areas. The average school size is about 1500 to 2000 square feet including at least four classrooms, a play area, a pantry, storage spaces and child-friendly washrooms. Many of the schools have an attached garden as well. The schools have facilities such as books and toy library, water games, audio-visual aids, sandpits, painting and craft, dance and music. Some of the schools have a teacher training centre as well.
