|   J Judgement Quotient (JQ) E Emotion Quotient (EQ) L Logic Quotient (LQ) I Intelligence Quotient (IQ) C Creativity Quotient (CQ) JELIC is a set of learning tools for children aged 3 to 6 to develop both hemispheres of the brain. It consists of 450 learning boxes, over 3000 multiple intelligences games. Every little step of the JELIC learning program is carefully designed and well integrated into a complete and well-sequenced curriculum of hands-on exercises and thinking, to stimulate and develop children’s full potential at their own pace. This educational set is truly one of a kind. JELIC has been developed by international experts, including child psychologists, mathematicians, and Montessori educators using the multiple intelligences concept of Howard Gardner, the child psychology theory of Jean Piaget, and the teaching philosophy and method of Maria Montessori. JELIC is used worldwide, with 20 classrooms in US, 10 in Canada, 100 in China, 200 in Taiwan, 30 in Singapore, 5 in Philippines, and 9 in Hong Kong. What are the components of JELIC? On the outside each semi-transparent box is clearly labelled for a specific topic in a specific domain. On the inside the box contains manipulative tools, a loose-leaf workbook, and an apple green cloth. These boxes offer every student a private working area marked by the green cloth. By going through the exercises in the workbook, the student learns how to solve problems independently. The student also learns about order and responsibility by following class guidelines.   JELIC'S 6 unique philosophies 1. To develop individuals who are self-motivated and self-confident. 2. Teachers are seen as navigators. Immediate but minimal guidance from teachers is offered only at the request of students, with teachers observing closely at all times. 3. To train the hands – the most important learning tool according to Maria Montessori – to support the development of intelligence and writing skills. 4. To develop multi-dimensional, in-depth thinking, and problem solving skills. 5. To develop creativity and harmonious people skills. 6. To support the development of orderliness, concentration, and self-management.
