WHAT PARENTS SAY...
Parents have observed significant improvements, with their children described as being more thoughtful, analytical, interested, engaged with their environment, able to concentrate and enthused, as a result of the K2L programme.
- The concept is marvellous...
- It is about love of learning and maximizing the potential of the child...
- Emotionally vibrant, playful and enjoyable...
- It does work to give them real understanding...
- They are getting an all round healthy upbringing...
- The key strength is the affect it has on our children, including their increased confidence and ability to be creative...
- My three year old son is mentally quicker in decision making, more active, outgoing and imaginative than his older brother...
Just a few lines to tell you how much we think Alexander benefited from his attendance at the K2L pre-school sessions. Looking back, there is little doubt that in comparison to his peers at school, he exhibited superior reading, logic, and number skills, and his powers of concentration were notablep also. His confidence and self-esteem were helped considerably by the pre-school sessions and his language and communication abilities were further markedly advanced. We are so glad that Alexander was able to take advantage of what K2L had to offer, and provide him with a fantastic basis to his academic career, and life generally.

LETTER FROM A PARENT
1st June
2004
Dear Galina,
Hello, I wanted to write and let you know how well Alice is doing after
going to the Shining Eyes and Busy Minds Young Learners' Centre and
Saturday Enrichment Programme. We have very fond memories of our time
spent with all the team, and Alice still recalls Mike the Clown, the
String Man and Vic of course. We have two tree frogs in honour!
The move to Cornwall has been difficult at times for Alice. We enrolled her to the local all girl prep school. She settled quickly and went on to win a partial scholarship that begins in September. Alice took part in a national maths test, and was one of only two girls to achieve the Gold level in her school. Alice enjoys Maths, English and Art, and is looking forward to Latin classes in the next year or so. She has taken Speech and Drama classes and performed well in local events, coming amongst the top contenders. She also won a Harry Potter competition, and was one of twenty children nationally to spend a weekend at Hogwarts . a terrific prize.
Well I hope you have enjoyed this update on Alice's progress, I know if I were you I would be wondering what has happened to all the children you have been involved with. Alice continues to delight and surprise us with her creativity and ability to understand complex ideas. Thank you for all your input and I will endeavour to write again with her progress.
Best wishes Emma Helliwell.
