Block Town

Block Town can be summed up in one sentence – “harnessing the creative minds of children” because it is important that creativity is nurtured early.

Block Town believes that creativity cannot be learned in theory, but must be harnessed through interaction with other creative and imaginative people. Block Town aims to be that center of creativity, with a focus on children, which will allow them to play, create, imagine and at the same time interact with other children to share and grow ideas. The aim of Block Town is to be within every shopping center, as this means the space will be easily accessible, allowing parents to send their children, knowing that their child is in safe and in good hands, not to mention that they will learn valuable creativity lessons while the parents shop.

As the name suggest, Block Town involves a space where children create using “bricks”. In this regard, Block Town will be utilizing Lego construction bricks and Mega Bricks, to name a couple. By utilizing these popular sets of creative toys, Block Town hopes to nurture a sense of imagination, curiosity and creativity among children. Because of the many types of sets of construction bricks available, children will be able to experiment and play with the various sets that will be made available at Block Town.

Young Explorer

An exciting hybrid gym for kids, Young Explorer is a 8000+ square feet of FUN space. Young Explorer’s gym encompasses a Gymnastics Gym, an Adventure Maze, and a Montessori Playgroup. This is one of a kind gym that provides cognitive, physical and motor skill developments under one roof.

After extensive research, it is concluded that there is a lack of emphasis on the importance of both motor skill and cognitive developments during early growing years of young children. Children in Asia predominantly being brought up cognitively only and many parents ignore the significance of children’s physical and motor skill developments. We are firm believers of equally importance of cognitive and motor skill developments during children’s early years of learning. For a child to successfully develop motor skills, he or she must receive many opportunities to physically explore the surroundings.

With the above in mind, Young Explorer is founded to provide and create awareness on the importance of children’s early years of cognitive and motor skills developments. Young Explorer is a HYBRID gym that consists of a Gymnastics gym, a Montessori Playgroup, and an Adventure Maze. With more than 8000 square feet of area, children get to explore, play, jump, and most importantly, have fun!

Opening Hours: 10am-6pm (Weekdays), 10am-7pm (Weekends)
