Simply Smarter Kickstart · Ages 3–7 · by NACD

The earlier you start building the brain, the further it can go.

The young brain is the most plastic brain — neuroplasticity is at its peak in early childhood. That’s why Kickstart begins at age 3. Bob Doman’s father, a physician working with brain-injured children, proved you can change brains decades before neuroscience caught up. The Kickstart track applies that understanding to the youngest learners: structured, gentle, parent-guided activities featuring the Brain Guy character, verbal reinforcement, and movement breaks. 2 levels, 6 steps each. Fully available in English and Spanish.

Why Kickstart Works for Young Learners

🧒

Designed for Ages 3–7

Parent-guided, short sessions. Brain Guy animated character provides encouragement. Movement breaks between activities. Designed for short attention spans.

📖

Foundation for Reading & Math

Auditory and visual processing are the cognitive skills that underpin reading and math. Kickstart develops these before your child sits down with a workbook.

🔄

Bridge to Advanced

When processing capacity grows, your child graduates into the Advanced progression. Same account. Same dashboard. New level of challenge. From 3 to 103.

A note on devices: Simply Smarter requires a desktop or laptop with keyboard and mouse. For ages 3–5, parental guidance at the keyboard is expected — the activities are designed for you to do together.
