IQ + EQ = HQ
What does this mean?
IQ: Intelligence Quotient - A measure of a persons ability to reason and solve problems and how they compare to others in the same age range.
EQ: Emotions Quotient – A measure of ‘emotional intelligence’. This is the ability to understand and manage emotions in positive ways. It encompasses effective communication, empathy and assists us to overcome challenges.
Here at HQ Children’s House of Learning the ‘HQ’ equals Human Quotient!
We believe that a child is not measured simply by one aspect of learning but a combination of academic and emotional that makes up the whole person – we call this HQ.
“We look at science as something very elite, which only a few people can learn. That’s just not true. You just have to start early and give kids a foundation. Kids live up, or down, to expectations.”
