MindLab is an after school enrichment programme designed around learning games for kids. MindLab has great educational benefits yet is highly enjoyable. MindLab develops children's thinking skills, social skills and emotional intelligence skills through an innovative curriculum which uses games and puzzles from all over the world. The curriculum uses games as an experiential tool to teach children problem solving, thinking skills and strategies. The experience of playing games interactively with their peers helps children apply the social skills and emotional intelligence skills emphasised in the programme. Research demonstrates that MindLab improves children's verbal skills, maths skills and problem solving skills. But parents and teachers report significant improvements in children's self-confidence, self-esteem and emotional intelligence skills through the MindLab programme as well. Most importantly – kids love MindLab and as Plato wisely said “Not by force shall the youth learn, but through play”
