Bricks 4 Kidz classes provide an extraordinary atmosphere for children, where we learn, we build, we play... with LEGO® bricks. Programs are built around our proprietary model plans, designed by engineers and architects, with exciting themes such as space, construction, and amusement parks. Our specially designed project kits and theme-based models provide the building blocks for the Bricks 4 Kidz approach to educational play. At Bricks 4 Kidz, we believe that kids learn best through activities that engage their curiosity and creativity. Today BRICKS 4 KIDZ® has over 100 franchises throughout the world, making it one of the fastest growing franchises in the US and Canada (and possibly the world).
