The Critical Thinking Child Partners with Kiko Labs to Deliver Early Learning Solutions
New partnership aids delivery of quality educational resources to children aged 3-6
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – June 5, 2019
February 18, 2016 – Research shows that 90% of a child’s brain develops in the first 5 years of life. Children with stronger memory, attention and cognitive skills show larger gains in academic learning. Early research shows these skills can be trained. To this end, The Critical Thinking Child, an educational consulting service for parents dedicated to developing their child’s critical thinking skills, is partnering with Kiko Labs, creators of adaptive games for children based on neuroscience, to deliver innovative early learning solutions to parents and caregivers.
Designed alongside Harvard and U.C. Berkeley neuroscientists, with support from the U.S. Department of Education, Kiko’s Thinking Time is a cognitive training program that targets the skills for school success, including memory, attention and key cognitive skills. Through this partnership, parents and caregivers can now purchase Kiko’s Thinking Time by visiting the Critical Thinking Child website.
“We are excited to provide our personalized learning technology to help parents and caregivers support children’s development of critical thinking skills and cognitive development,” said Kiko Labs cofounder, Grace Wardhana. “Technology has great potential to help parents expand the impact of their teaching and we are glad to be an innovation partner with The Critical Thinking Child.”
