Find out how fun makes the learning easy and gently guides your child to a life-long passion for knowledge and self-improvement.
Learning Resources® are delighted to be sponsoring the Academic, Languages and Education Day for Children’s Activities Week. We 
have been the leader in educational toys for over 30 years, and our mission is to help kids love to learn, providing over 1,000 different products to more than 80 countries.
It is our passion to aid parents and teachers with building a strong foundation for children’s physical, mental, emotional, and social development that prepares them for a lifetime. Moments are created where learning and play become one, and our products are designed to instil a love of learning in both boys and girls, who often do not realise they are learning as they play.
The ability to communicate effectively is a key life skill and we begin learning and communicating from the moment we are born. Research suggests that learning a second language at an early age is much easier as the language centre of the brain is still developing.
Some advantages of learning a second language are:
• It stimulates a child’s curiosity
• Boosts cognitive development which can help their overall academic progress in the future
• Studies show that children who learn a second language tend to display more empathy towards others
Begin to introduce a second language to children by singing simple songs, ‘Frère Jacques’ for example, learning to count to 10 or naming the different colours of the rainbow.

It's never too early to develop an early interest in essential and desirable life skills such as reading, modern languages, science and first aid.
Programmes will be age appropriate and use many different techniques to make learning so much fun - including music, singing, storytelling, sensory play, movement and messy play.
Foster inquisitive minds and confident questioning.
• Increased cognitive development (such as reasoning, problem-solving, critical-thinking, and listening skills).
• Increased likelihood of reaching native-like pronunciation. Young brains are primed to learn languages and are more likely to identify the nuance differences in a new language’s sounds and intuitively understand its rules.
• Gives children a more positive attitude to other cultures and a deeper understanding of how big and varied the world is.
• Gives children a head-start on the languages they will be learning at school.
• It can boost language development in the English language.
• Growth in self-confidence and self-esteem.
• Mums, dads, grandparents and carers attending are learning a new skill or refreshing an old skill.
• As families grow, there is less and less time for the adults to explore their own interests and ambitions such as learning a new language, challenge themselves and keep their brains active.
• It becomes a shared adventure of exploration and growth that creates a great bond with the children. Parents have told us that they use the songs learnt in class to soothe their babies, that they listen to Spanish / French music between classes, or that during a walk or outing they will try to name, count and say the colours in Spanish / French of everything they see.
• The classes are also an opportunity to make new friends for everyone – parents and children alike get to know each other and friendships blossom.
At Mini Professors we are passionate about science and we are dedicated to inspiring children as we bring science to life in a fun, interactive and educational way. Our theme tune’s opening line is ‘Science is all around us’ and this reflects the ethos of our lessons.
Our lesson plans are researched and pulled together from real life scientist mums who are passionate about spreading their enthusiasm for science!
Children have an incredible thirst for learning from a young age and we harness and encourage them at every opportunity. Learning shouldn't be boring or scary - that's why we make learning, experimenting, and exploring easy and fun! Science should be accessible to everyone - we do not dumb down scientific terminology but explain scientific principles in simple terms with interactive experiments.
Our Mini Professors get to wear their own mini lab coats and learn about the basic principles of scientific experimentation, all while spending time with their care giver, having fun and doing what they do best - getting stuck in.
