Lemi and The Critical Thinking Child experience Lemi and her staff take a personal approach to every child and his/her needs. It is so rare these days to have people so invested in the learning process and focused on each child's success and the approaches to get there. She is SO creative with approaches and makes it a fun experience. My son grew tremendously with her help and gained strides in his focus and critical thinking approach to different topics and tasks. The classes are worth every dollar!!!

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!!

Excellent coaching done in an engaging way Our daughter attended the summer boot camp for critical thinking. It was a great experience for our daughter, who looked forward to going to the class each week. For us, the most important factor was for her to enjoy the learning process and that is exactly what Lemi provided her with. Lemi brings in years of research on child development and is able to apply that in the classroom. Lemi has a unique way to engaging the kids along with driving discipline and focus. Furthermore, we received excellent advise from Lemi on multiple topics - ranging from use of technology to encouraging reading. I recommend the boot camp and other programs that Lemi leads to all parents.

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.

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.
