Who we are...
Every child is a creative genius! Mindbytes aims to help children bring out their creativity, improve their comprehension, communication skills and build confidence. Mindbytes offers a variety of learning ideas structured as workshops, after-school and
summer programs, for children of ages 4 - 18.
Given the pervasive role technology plays in our lives, Mindbytes uses technology as the platform to deliver its programs. Mindbytes is an approved partner of the Mount Laurel Schools, NJ for their after school programs and the Mount Laurel & Ocean County, NJ public library networks.
Mindbytes not only helps children utilize their skills to express themselves but also provides them an avenue to extend their work beyond the classroom.
Mindbytes is marching into 8th year and about 1000+ students have been in several innovative programs and workshops for children between the ages of 4 &above.
