FasTracKids Story

Every child is born with an unique set of gifts and talents.

Since 1998, our FasTracKids® programs in centers and schools around the world have been providing children unique educational experiences to thrive in the 21st century. We created FasTracKids programs because we believe there is a way to teach children differently by engaging them in the way they learn naturally. We focus on young learners because early childhood is the most critical time period in a child’s life to develop their learning and thinking skills as well as building their emotional and social intelligence. All children deserve the opportunity to develop their potential for a successful future.

Our programs stimulate your child’s natural curiosity through the FasTrack® Advantages: skills for critical thinking, creativity, communication, collaboration and confidence. We combine engaging curriculum with a collaborative and fun-based environment to create a dynamic 21st century learner. Our goals are for your child to learn HOW to think, not WHAT to think, while creating a lifelong love of learning.

Why is lifelong learning so important? It is no longer enough to be the “smartest” in the class. The world is changing too rapidly. Bestselling author and Harvard University professor Tony Wagner asserts in his book, “The Global Achievement Gap:

“The seven skills necessary to survive in the 21st century are: critical thinking and problem solving; collaboration across networks; agility and adaptability; initiative and entrepreneurialism; effective oral and written communication; accessing and analyzing information; and developing curiosity and imagination.”

 

We would be honored if you would partner with us to provide your child an educational foundation to be a strong, independent thinker who has the ability to compete in a global environment.
