Your child learns to listen carefully and memorise sounds. Mika encourages them to pick out sounds at the beginning, middle and end of a word and strengthens their understanding of the phonetic structure of words.

When preparing for reading and writing, it is important to differentiate between the content and appearance of words and letters and to look at them separately. Your child is taught to recognise the formation of a letter and to distinguish between them based on their structure.

Your child learns to write letters in the correct directional shapes and to hold the ergonomic pen in a relaxed position. Our ergonomic pen helps with refining fine motor skills.

Mika introduces concepts, which are fundamental for later reading and writing proficiency. Recognising upper and lower case letters and their shapes is encouraged in order to internalise the distinction and connections.

Children should begin to count and recognise digits from 0-10, and lots of practice is needed to consolidate this knowledge. In order to make this process as varied as possible, your child gets to know the numbers through different approaches (e.g. through writing, reading and listening) and a through variety of games.

For the development of number concept, it is important that the children have a variety of counting experiences and are challenged to determine numbers in different contexts. This will later build the ability to determine larger quantities without having to count them individually.

In this section, initial arithmetic is practiced in real-life situations, such as baking a cake or paying with coins. A early look into mathematical concepts is also provided, where your child comes into contact with arithmetic signs and number bonds to 10.

This section is a first introduction to basic shapes. Your child interacts playfully with common 2D shapes and learns to recognise them based on relevant properties like number of sides and vertices. They also start to recognise shapes in everyday real-world objects.

Sustained attention is the ability to maintain focus on a single task for an extended period of time, for example completing a drawing without becoming distracted.

Your child will learn … 

• How to concentrate for extended periods of time.
• To complete tasks independently.
• To persevere with challenges. 

Selective attention involves focusing on a specific task or stimulus while ignoring distractions for example following instructions in a noisy environment.

Your child will learn … 

• To identify similarities and differences.
• Listen and respond to different stimuli.
• To practise their searching, finding and sorting skills.

Alternating attention refers to the ability of switching focus between tasks or stimuli for example getting dressed in the morning. Children playfully organise and complete tasks in a specific order, fostering skills for step-by-step problem-solving.

Your child will learn … 

• how to complete tasks in a specific order.
• how to thing strategically.
• Problem solving.

Divided attention involves the ability to focus on multiple tasks simultaneously, for example remembering what to pack in a school bag.

Your child will learn … 

• how to multitask.
• to successfully switch focus between tasks.
• Strategies for improving their memory.

Your child will learn various strategies for emotion regulation in order to deal with negative emotions such as anxiety. They will also be introduced to methods that enable them to empathise with others and signal their willingness to help.

Your child learns to categorise and reflect on feelings and thoughts and to express their own emotions in different ways.

Your child will learn the basic emotions of joy, anger, fear, sadness, surprise and disgust. Using this as a basis, they will build up their own emotional vocabulary in order to correctly name their own feelings and those of others.

In the research station, your child can discover different bodies and their parts together with Ari and Doc, the researcher. They will learn the specific names and places of body parts in detail and also discover how they function.

In the next part of the episode, your child will become familiar with naming the senses and the organs associated with them. They will also explore how these five senses play a crucial role in the way we perceive the world around us.

Your child will discover the importance of personal and dental care routines and understand why sticking to these regularly is important in everyday life.

In this part of the episode your child will learn about taking care of their body and discover essential steps to protect it. It’s not just about drinking enough water and applying sunscreen, but also understanding and setting boundaries in relation to their own body.

Throughout the games, your child visits different habitats in nature. Special native mammals, birds and insects can be discovered in the forest, on the meadow or in the lake. Your child will learn exciting facts about the animals, whilst observing and photographing them before caring for them in the rescue centre.

Upon discovering a dilapidated hut in the forest your child is given the opportunity to grow their own garden. Using the tools provided and a little patience they can grow their own magnificent allotment of plants and trees. Throughout the game your child is encouraged to observe this process and grow a sustainable plot.

It is important for children to recognise networks and symbioses in nature. This helps them to understand the complicated connections of life and their role in maintaining them. Your child will gain a valuable insight into various connections in nature throughout our fun mini games, such as the symbiosis of plants with flowers and bees.

We too are part of nature and must find a sustainable way to deal with our surroundings. In these mini-games, children learn about the fundamentals of sustainable development. By saving resources such as water and energy or collecting and sorting waste from nature, they learn concrete skills that they can use in everyday life.

This creative learning journey begins in the artists' quarter, where your child and Juki explore colour and drawing techniques. Discover how colours are composed through mixing and strengthen your child’s fine motor skills in our creative dynamic line games.

Next you will visit the tailor's studio where you can design clothing and costumes. Your child has the freedom to create their own characters by choosing from a variety of playful patterns and fabrics, all while exploring imaginative techniques.

Guided by Tinky, the inventor, your child can let their imagination run wild with more than just painting!. They'll gather craft materials and explore creative techniques used in experimentation and design. Crafting rockets, props for plays, and statues for the artists' district is just the beginning!

Mini-games address different areas of logic and get progressively more difficult as you go. While your child helps Luca crack the door code or fix the antenna, their cognitive development is supported at the same time.

In systematic thinking, you focus less on the individual parts of a system and more on their interconnections and interaction. In one of our mini-games, your child moves obstacles and systematically sheds light on Lupa's big warehouse.

Dividing problems into smaller sections and solving them step by step is an essential basic skill of programming. Your child will learn these skills while helping Bonki the robot through an obstacle course with fun tools.

When programming, you often come across systems that are becoming more and more complex. Through a fun energy flow game, your child will learn about one in a playful way and help Mr. Dandelion make his lamps light up again.

In the first games of an area, everyday vocabulary (e.g. colours, animals or fruit) recapped and practiced in a variety of ways. The words are discovered individually through play and pronounced frequently and clearly so that children are able to start decoding independently.

In the subsequent games, the newly learned words are sorted, rearranged or connected. Especially in this phase, your child has the freedom to make mistakes and puzzle. (Here, too, your child is only confronted with a small number of words in order to be able to remember them particularly well).

All of our mini-games include verbal instructions and story lines, encouraging active listening and focus. Children can also listen to key pieces of vocabulary to support word reading.

Comprehension is a vital part of reading, as well as being able to decode to read words, children need to understand what they have read or what has been read to them. These mini-games develop comprehension through vivid story lines and encouraging children to follow instructions independently.
