The beginning of the school year and continuation of your child’s learning journey will bring some challenges they’ve never seen before. This can cause stress and anxiety for both you and your child, especially if you don’t communicate with each other.

This summer has been challenging for families all over the world as our trips, camps, events and traditions have been turned upside down due to Covid-19. With more uncertainty felt by parents as the new school year approaches, it is important to establish (or continue) a routine that you can control. One of these routines that helps develop a love of learning is reading to your child.

The summer months are for fun learning opportunities. We have a few activities that promote STEAM skills and smiles during National Summer Learning Day!

The new year is upon us and with it comes new resolutions. Consider using this time as a learning opportunity to review with your child what they accomplished last year and what they hope to accomplish in 2017. Try these simple steps with your child for them to learn from last year.

Welcome to the most wonderful, and possibly stressful, time of the year! Holiday cheer can turn into holiday headaches without proper expectations and preparation for your child. Let us help you teach your child life lessons in a holiday setting.

During the Vendée Globe race, tens of thousands of people worldwide follow brave sailors (or skippers) as they navigate treacherous seas, outlast fierce storms and battle fatigue to reach their ultimate goal. Students in FasTracKids centers have been paying attention to one skipper in particular, and his name is Rich Wilson.

Goals determine what you’re going to be. – Julius Irving

Starting the new school year prepared can set the stage for success in the many months to come. A key to that preparedness is making sure that you have established clear goals for you and your children to strive towards throughout the year.

It’s that time of the year again, where your child’s summer schedule of long days spent playing outdoors with friends and family transforms into the classroom routine of school. This change in your young learner’s life doesn’t have to be met with distress when you make the transition fun.

Traveling with a child can either be an adventure filled with exciting new experiences or an endless set of challenges and obstacles. The goal for parents is to have more of the former than the latter while planning a trip.
