The story begins in an eclectic community Montessori school -- where learning was passionate, teachers and parents were dedicated, and children (ages 0-12) were recipients of a blend of many, many early educational methods. One of the methods that had developed in this educational hothouse during the 80's and 90's, we called Right Brain Education, based loosely on the work of Betty Edwards, Barbar
a Meister Vitale, Colin Rose, Glenn Doman, Makoto Shichida and others. Children were able to learn large amounts of information in a small amount of time -- effortlessly, joyfully. They could spend a majority of their time in play. We had found a balance between left brain early education, and creative right brain opportunities. Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
-- Margaret Mead
In 1997, a small circle of parents and teachers came together and met around a kitchen table to figure out how to continue not only Right Brain Education for our own children, but also how to package what we've learned to benefit other families around the world. The result came in the form of an early childhood educational company. In 2000, we had finally packaged enough materials to hold a solid on-line training program. Soon parents and teachers from all over the world signed up and became excited new students. Our dream of sharing the method was becoming realized before our eyes! In 2003, we published our first Right Brain Education kit, called Wink.™ Later that year, we released the first in a series of DVDs for children called TweedleWink.™
In 2007, after a short break to invest more time in our families and ourselves, we came together to create rightbrainkids.com. Our goal is to disseminate this tried and proven method of learning through modern technological means: the internet. Through this avenue, we hope to serve you in a whole new way with more immediate access to training, products and support. There has never been a better time for Right Brain Education. Children with autism, dyslexia, ADD / ADHD, and other special learning needs thrive with Right Brain Education techniques. Children exposed to early learning methods accelerate in comprehension and creativity. Now is the time for this method to be used widely -- so that our children can experience education as a great joy and passion. The world is facing serious challenges. The solutions will come from our children. Right Brain Education is truly a method that changes the parents and teachers as we teach it to our children. This impact is lifelong and profound. And currently, there is no other educational method like it out there.
