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!!

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.

Critical Thinking Child Boot Camp I signed up my 4th grade daughter for Lemi's boot camp because her sister had benefitted from the class years ago. She was excited to attend and focused on doing her "homework" which alone would make it a success in my book. Working with her on the homework I could see that Lemi was teaching her skills that would be very helpful for upcoming CPS tests.

Critical Thinking Skills are life skills I put my son here because critical thinking to me is an important life skill. Unfortunately, not all schools focus on critical thinking skills. I also pay attention to my son's brain development. I read neuroscience books in my free time to help understand myself and my children. Decision making involves different areas of the brain. I choose enrichment programs for my son that I feel will develop these parts of the brain that will influence him to make important decisions as an adult. I am happy to be in Chicago because of this organization. I have recommended the online version to my friends in other states. The Critical Thinking Child is truly a Chicago gem so I tell everyone about it.

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!!!
