SmartyKids is a leading international network of children's education centers, with over 400 centers in 8 countries. In Bulgaria, 79 SmartyKids centers work with children aged 4 to 14, offering courses in mental arithmetic, engaging mathematics, speed reading, financial literacy and beautiful handwriting.
SmartyKids methodologies incorporate world-renowned teaching practices and approaches to children's intellectual development. The team of teachers strives to make the learning process so fascinating that the child fully devotes himself to the game while developing his intellectual potential.
Mental arithmetic activities influence the overall development of the child and are not narrowly focused only on their mathematical skills. The benefits of learning mental arithmetic are: improving concentration and memory, developing the child's analytical thinking, increasing the speed of information perception, developing creative thinking, independence and confidence.
