Parents who made the switch to virtual classes are saying...

"I was researching 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. I would highly recommend to any parent that wants their child to get that extra boost."

"She created a schedule and has stuck to it having her students look forward to each class and seeing their friends. "

"Miss Katie is tenacious and spunky and those two qualities shine through. Miss Katie went right into online learning for her gymnastics and didn’t miss a beat when we were forced to stay at home and learn through the computer. She created a schedule and has stuck to it having her students look forward to each class and seeing their friends. Having National Kids Gym through zoom each week [zoomnastics] is such a highlight to our life! We can’t wait to continue our time with Miss Katie and National Kids Gymnastics!"
