My son is now six but he attended… My son is now six but he attended Lemi's workshop in pre-K and he was reading before his 4th birthday. He continues to perform above grade level, his reading skills are phenomenal and his vocabulary extensive. We no longer live in IL otherwise I would do the summer session again. This program is worth it.

You Definitely Get What You Pay For I was researching test prep programs and came across The Critical Thinking Child. I began researching the program and talking to other moms that were in search of something like this as well. I am SO GRATEFUL for the instructional design and care Ms. Lemi and her staff poured into my daughter who is very soft spoken and suffers with anxiety at a young age. We went weekly and I immediately began seeing a boost in her knowledge base and her confidence. I would highly recommend to any parent that wants their child to get that extra boost. My daughter tested for a selected enrollment test and received amazing scores and a seat at our 1st choice school.

The Critical Thinking Child Boot Camp The Critical Thinking Child Boot Camp class was an overall great experience for our family. Our daughter learned how to problem solve, extend patterns, and use critical thinking skills to enhance her already advanced reasoning. In addition, we parents learned strategies to use with her to help advance her reading, math, and critical thinking skills not only while actually doing the "homework" for class but also while participating in every day activities. She looked forward to (what she liked to call) her "Brain Games" class every week! Sidenote: She was accepted into our top choice CPS Regional Gifted Center program (even living in Tier 4!), and I'm sure part of it had to do with what we learned from The Critical Thinking Child Boot Camp. Thank you, Ms. Lemi and staff!!

Absolutely amazing Absolutely amazing! Lemi is doing remarkable things with our scholars. My 8 year old is working with her over the summer and his reading skills and overall thinking skills have shown amazing growth. He is thinking more about questions before he answers. He doesn't get as frustrated as before when we are doing reading assignments. We will not have to worry about that summer gap. My scholar will be well prepared for the fall. Lemi also provides great information and exercises for me as the parent to ensure that I continue to help my scholar with his educational growth. Definitely worthwhile.

Great program!! My child took both Selective Prep and Critical Thinking Child. He felt strongly that the Critical Thinking Child program was key to his success especially in paper folding and everything else that was non verbal. He was accepted to Lane Tech's AC program for 7th grade and his gifted score improved from 124 to 141 (5th grade vs 6th grade). We are tier 4. Thank you Lemi!!
