A couple months ago when I first moved to Miami, I attended the ASIB CC (Aventura Sunny Isles Beach Chamber of Commerce) Young Executives Luncheon. There I was pleased to meet Roman Frenkel, owner of FasTracKids in Sunny Isles Beach. Roman and I kept in touch, and over the months I’ve learned a lot about his business and what he’s been contributing to the community of Aventura/Sunny Isles and surrounding area. Roman & his wife opened their location in last August, and if you haven’t seen it yet, you need to stop by and check it out…
Today I was privileged that Roman was able to take sometime out of his busy schedule to visit with me for a little bit and show me around his learning center. When I arrived, he was setting up for a Piano lesson that was about to take place. He had a bunch of eager kids ready to learn their lessons… Economics was the topic for today.
Economics, I asked? Aren’t they like 3, 4, 5 years old? He’s like, Yes! And then he explained to me that they will be learning about supply and demand. The analogy he gave me was with a baby doll, so relative to the little girls that were waiting for their class to begin, it made the subject sound so incredibly simple, that I was flabbergasted little kids were already learning these types of “real world” concepts.
I’ll share this with all of my readers… When I was taking classes at Temple University in Philadelphia, I had an 80+ year old professor teaching economics, Dr. Rafaelson. Now I liked Dr. Rafaelson, however he confused me more about the subject in two semesters of Macro & Micro than I care to admit publicly. And I stopped for a moment and thought… if I could have understood this at 3 & 4 years old, imagine how things would have been different? I can say with certainty, Dr. Raphaelson’s classes wouldn’t have been such a struggle for me since I would have been familiar with this from such an early age…
Then I thought… just imagine what these kids are going to be able to achieve one day, by being exposed to so many concepts before the age of, oh… SIX! I’m a huge fan of what Roman’s educating our future with… He tells me later this summer, his students will be dissecting and learning Biology!
Young Doctors, Lawyers and Rocket Scientists are in the making over at FasTracKids. Kudos Roman for providing such an outstanding service to the youth of our community!
I was so impressed with FasTracKids, I’ve decided Roman’s Learning Center compliments what I’m looking to accomplish with my Karate Princesses program; Preparing our youth today with advanced knowledge and skills that they will most certainly need in their future. I look forward to instructing a Karate Princesses Program in Sunny Isles Beach this summer at Roman’s facility.
