Evaluation comments:
“There were different types of educational games for the kids to play, and it is appropriately leveled to their age. It was very interactive and kept my children busy and challenged.”
“The design is fun and modern and “not for babies” as my school-aged children are very conscious about growing up and wanting to do activities that would be accepted by their peers.”
“What I like the most is that it employs different types of learning styles: reading, audiovisual, hand-on, and, if another child is helping the other, teaching. It is the kinesthetic learning that sets this apart from online learning programs.”
“They learn using multiple parts of their brain because they are moving. My children like it because it is interactive and fun. I can see them engaged with the challenges and uses their critical thinking to solve them. And when they are tired of that activity, they move on to the next activity.”
