Comfy™ Pedagogical House (CPH) Comfy™ Pedagogical House (CPH) is the research and development arm of Comfy™ responsible for accumulating all knowledge and information, identifying latest trends in child-development and learning processes, and translating them into interactive fun-learning products. CPH activities include research and field-testing, involving many experts from various fields, that together form the wide knowledge base for Comfy’s™ activities. CPH is the developer of Comfy’s™ unique 3C Developmental Cycle® to leverage child curiosity, while promoting and maximizing effective learning.
Introducing the Comfy™ 3C Developmental Cycle® The immediate effect that is seen when watching a child play with the Comfy™ system is the magic sparkle in his eyes lighting up his whole face. This is what we refer to as “Comfy’s™ Magic Effect”. This magical effect is created by the combination of Curiosity + Challenge + Confidence = 3C Developmental Cycle®
Challenge Curiosity A child is born with natural curiosity. At Comfy™, we expose young minds to a rich interactive environment in order to leverage their natural–born curiosity and take them through a journey of learning through play and exploration, enabling the development of new skills and thought-patterns.

Confidence
Providing children with age/ developmental appropriate, rich and fun content motivates and inspires them to utilise their capabilities to the fullest. CPH has developed a line of software titles, including 6 different levels of difficulty, developing motor skills, emotional intelligence, creative thinking, vocabulary and much more.
The Comfy™ system develops self-confidence by enabling children to play independently by controlling activities as active participants rather than passive ones. Acquiring this sense of control improves confidence and self-esteem and is the basis for building a positive and stable personality, as well as healthy relationships.
Parents’ role in maximizing the Comfy™ 3C System
Sharing quality time together Comfy™ brings parents and children together when playing and sharing fun educational moments together. Parent or child can stop the activity at any time by pressing the “pause” key and discuss/explain the shown content, to deepen the child’s understanding.
Relating Comfy’s™ contents to real life As the Comfy™ software content presents day-to-day situations, parents can project those rituals to their family’s life, helping their child to accept and understand these activities and find them more enjoyable.
Choosing the right software content Our extensive range of software titles, with different age/developmental levels, enables parents to carefully adjust the right content for their child at each stage.
Teaching more languages The Comfy™ System includes up to 20 additional languages, enabling switching from one language to another – learning new words in different languages.

Comfy™ Edutainment Centers
The Comfyland Experience™ is designed to provide a complete solution for toddlers, as young as 12 months, in Family Entertainment Centers or as a stand alone venue, by creating a unique educational oriented toddlers’ play area, exposing them to age-appropriate activities in a dynamic and safe surrounding.
WINNER OF THE IAAPA IMPACT AWARD
The Comfyland Experience™ was designed by architect Zvi Tamari from Team Architects. The unique design is composed of 3 “C” shaped sections, each providing a different theme and content: the Senses Corner, the Music Corner, and the Cognitive Corner. They are arrayed in a maze- like structure, attracting the child to go through the different corners, and offering a dynamic, mental and physical voyage of investigation and exploration.
24
Specially Designed 3 Activity Corners
Senses Corner Play, experience, and learn through the senses The first years of a child’s life are characterized by learning and exploring the world through the senses – sight, touch, smell, hearing and taste. These senses are the primary channels through which the child can gather and process information from the surrounding environment. In our Senses Corner each activity has been developed to focus on one or more of the senses (apart from taste) in an effort to reveal exciting activities through exploration.
Music Corner Play, explore, and produce sounds. Listen and enjoy music In our Music Corner we expose children to different sound stimuli, which differ from one another in pitch, intensity and nuance, thereby developing their ability to distinguish between sounds. We challenge the child to explore various musical instruments and to understand the relationships between the various tunes and sounds.
Cognitive Corner Play, think & develop varied cognitive skills In their early stages, children undergo significant cognitive developments such as learning to speak and using symbols for thinking. At a second stage they actively seek explanations related to the world around them. They start defining, remembering and classifying the vast amounts of information they receive, such as cause and effect, the way we learn and draw conclusions, and how we set our imagination free. At this stage fine and gross motor skills are greatly developed and enhanced. In our Cognitive Corner we have developed fun-filled activities and games that target this stage of development.
25
Comfyland Experience’s Target Audience Our unique approach offers a wide range of attractions that appeal to each child at every developmental stage from the age of 1-6 years old. Our varied activities enable each child to maximize their full potential and investigate the world around them in an exciting, fun and openminded way.
Comfyland Experience’s Target Markets Our major market has been Family Entertainment Centers (FECs) in over 20 countries world-wide. It is interesting to note all the additional venues enjoying this delightful product, such as: Hospitals, Museums, Shopping Centers, Fitness Clubs, and Retail Shops.
