Nourish your child’s gift As a parent, you want the very best for your child. By now, you might already spot his skills, like if he has a knack for singing or he’s into the arts. But how can you help your child to discover his gift and reach his full potential? By letting him explore on his own is essential.

Aside from stimulating their creativity, doing this will also help push him to explore his talents. One of these camps is the Promil Four i-Shine Talent Camp 6. It’s a venue for children to play and learn, and allow them to discover and develop skills set. This season of talent camp will be lead by Maestro Ryan Cayabyab for Music Workshop, Teacher Georcelle Sy, of the G-Force Dance School for the Dance Workshop, Teacher Robert Alejandro and his team for the Art Workshop, and a new set of workshops focused on Engineering to be led by Teacher Lei Sta. Maria of Engineering for Kids. It will run from April 2 to May 3, 2018.
