Readiness matters more than birthday alone
Who Can Join the Junior Abacus Programme?
Number familiarity
The child can recognise common numerals and count in the expected order for their stage.
Instruction readiness
The child can watch a short demonstration, follow one or two simple steps and try again after guidance.
Fine-motor comfort
The child can move beads with support and is willing to practise careful finger control.
No previous abacus learning is required
First-time learners are welcome. If a child has learned before, we check retained technique and place-value understanding before selecting a starting stage.
