We understand the importance of social and communication skills, so our school holiday workshops emphasise group work, ignite young minds, and foster collaboration. So while kids are connecting Bricks they are also connecting socially in a nurturing environment.

By providing social connections with other children (in a learning setting), we will empower our children to know how to work with others. Constructively interacting with other children helps children to practice and develop essential social and negotiating skills that will be vital to their future selves.
