ReadyMinds Development Center is Now in CDO!

ReadyMinds Development Center formally opened in Cagayan de Oro last March 28, 2017 and it was a huge success. It was attended by many people and most of them got a glimpse of what was inside the center.

ReadyMinds is the only center in Cagayan de Oro that introduces i-Ready diagnostic and instruction program. i-Ready diagnostic and instruction is a powerful on-line program that will bring students up to grade level.
It is the single K–12 adaptive Diagnostic for reading and mathematics that pinpoints learners’ needs down to the sub-skill level. It also has ongoing progress monitoring showing whether students are on track to achieve end-of-year targets.
ReadyMinds is a family-owned business, F & J De Jesus Inc., along with their children. They were actually present during the grand opening and  briefly shared their experiences on how they adapted the US-based education and brought it here in the Philippines. Now, they have many branches nationwide. 
For more details about ReadyMinds, I suggest you visit their place at 2/F Knightsbridge building, Tomas-Saco St. (fronting Mercury Drug). The staff or manager of learning (ML) are all nice and accommodating so you can ask any of them about your queries.

And sharing to you some GOOD NEWS: ReadyMinds Development Center is currently offering a Summer Enrichment Promo. They are offering 20 sessions for Php 1,799 ONLY for either Math or Reading! So imagine how much you saved coz your payment for 1 month is equivalent for 2 months! But you need to hurry as the promo is up to April 28, 2017 only!

LEGO Opens the First Certified Store in Mindanao and Partners with UNICEF Philippines

Fun, intuitive and simple - these are the hallmarks of toy design that made the LEGO bricks and minifigures the most beloved toys worldwide. A brainchild of carpenter Ole Kirk Kristiansen who introduced it in Denmark stores in 1932, the brand soon went global ad it did not take long it became a hit in the Philippines, earning a steadily growing following from children and those young at heart who use each LEGO piece to build toys and realities straight from their imagination.

Encapsulating the dram of its founder to "inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow", the global toymaker continues to expand its presence in the Philippine market by opening LEGO's 6th Certified Store in Centrio Mall, Cagayan de Oro on April 1, 2017.

A LEGO Certified Store offers the following unique features that inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow through creative free play and developing the imagination:

* Pick-a-Brick wall (PAB) - a custom-built fixture filled with LEGO bricks and elements where shoppers can hand-pick and select what they need to build something based on their own design and imagination.
* Fully assembled LEGO sets around the cirumference of the store to inspire LEGO fans.
* An interactive play area that's prominently positioned in the center of the store to give children a "hands-on, minds-on" experience with LEGO bricks.
* Exclusive LEGO sets available

The store is the fifth in a series of stores that will open from Manila to Davao in the country under LEGO's "Better With Every Brick" campaign. LEGO, together with UNICEF Philippines, UN's agency that supports children's welfare, will work together to help build the first National Centre for Children with Disabilities in Philippine General Hospital. To support UNICEF's program, a portion of the sales at LEGO Certified Stores in the country will be donated for the Centre's construction. LEGO will also issue a cheque worth Php 500,000 as part of the fundraising drive to raise a total of Php 10 Million for the construction of the Centre.

"The LEGO brand goes beyond being one of the top global toymakers, we are beloved builder of childhood fantasies. We aim to inspire and engage the world's builder by injecting fun into play. This partnership with UNICEF Philippines resonates well with this dream to extend the opportunity to help more children by bringing the National Centre for Children with Disabilities to reality," said LEGO executive.
