location
The environment has a direct influence on a learner's physical and mental health and welfare.
Our center is set amidst a verdant campus in Karen, Nairobi. The pure air, cheerful bird melodies, and stunning natural surroundings imbue our days with a sense of peace and vitality.
facility
Developing a space tailored to the learner's needs is key to helping them eliminate distractions and stay focused on their learning goals.
Step into our inviting, vibrant, and meticulously organized learning environment, designed to eliminate cognitive overload and empower learners to effortlessly absorb and master challenging academic concepts.
brain gym
Regular physical activity is often mentioned as a key factor contributing to the enhancement of learners' cognitive functioning.
Every morning we jumpstart our day with a fun and revitalizing session of Brain Gym, a therapeutic set of exercises that help improve brain function and memory. Brain Gym is beneficial for everyone looking to boost their cognitive abilities!
hydration
Learners typically need to be reminded to drink enough water for their health and well-being!
We always begin and end brain gym sessions with a refreshing glass of water, and keeping water bottles handy is a must for us, as we often take water breaks during our lessons.
circle time & circle back
Building social-emotional skills can help learners navigate their emotions, form meaningful connections, and show empathy and understanding towards others.
Our morning circle time is a special moment where we come together as a community to pray, share how we're feeling, and have fun with a game or activity that boosts our observation, attentive listening, articulate speaking, critical thinking, and focusing skills. We also get to work on our social skills. We wrap it up by reciting our creed together!
As the academic day comes to a close, we regroup for a check-in session to discuss our experiences. Our learners enhance their public speaking abilities by sharing the key moments and delights of their day. Following our tradition, we participate in a lively and occasionally competitive activity, concluding with a prayer.
wellness coordinator
Having a designated person in charge of researching, coordinating, and implementing health, safety, and wellness programs, policies, and procedures ensures that learners are well taken care of.
Hey there! Fun fact - we have a wellness coordinator on staff. Pretty awesome, right?
affirmation
Adding some positive affirmations to a learner's daily routine can work wonders for their mental health, uplift their self-esteem, and nurture their overall well-being.
At RRR, we are all about restoring the spark in our young people. We welcome many learners who may feel down, dislike school, have low self-esteem, and feel like giving up. With unwavering support and encouragement, we help them rediscover their confidence and guide them towards their full potential. Our nurturing environment is where our learners transform from just getting by to truly thriving.
club red
Participating in recreational activities has been proven to offer therapeutic advantages for physical well-being, cognitive function, social health, personal growth, and life contentment.
Every afternoon, we reserve a minimum of one hour for recreational therapy, offering a mix of activities such as karate sessions, basketball games, music and dance lessons, board games and puzzles, and swimming. This forms the core of our Club Red program on weekdays. Additionally, students can choose to partake in Club Red Saturdays, where they can step away from screens and engage in a diverse array of activities in and around Nairobi, including ice skating, zip lining, rollerblading, go karting, cycling, bowling, painting or drawing workshops, book-a-thons, archery, bowling, swimming and more.
fist bump friday!
Facilitating learners to step back from their daily grind is a strategic move to combat stress and enhance their cognitive abilities. By allowing this break, they can recharge their mental batteries, resulting in a significant boost in productivity and attentiveness upon their return.
Fridays at RRR are undeniably the highlight of our week! We break free from the ordinary routine and immerse ourselves in a range of activities that elevate our therapeutic delivery to new heights.
Each week, we center our focus on a captivating theme and corresponding Bible verse. The pinnacle of anticipation arrives on Friday, where we partake in group activities that not only align with the theme but also serve to amplify our learners' confidence and skills - encompassing social interactions, public speaking, and talent nurturing. Through singing, dancing, presenting, collaborating, exploring, and dreaming, we ignite the potential within each individual.
Furthermore, Fist Bump Fridays are a time for empowerment. Our Wellness Coordinator bestows Fist Bumps (our esteemed form of merits) upon our learners and staff, recognizing and celebrating the remarkable achievements and contributions observed throughout the week.
