The Critical Thinking ChildReviews of thecriticalthinkingchild.com

Lemi Ola Erinkitola provides the necessary tools for the children to develop Critical Thinking Skills to become lifelong learners. The Brain Boot Camp learning environment is designed to meet each child where they are academically and developmentally. The Critical Thinking Child Workbooks and materials utilized in the sessions cover various topics - Academic Testing, Core Standards, Cybersafety, and Spatial Reasoning, just to name a few. The Critical Thinking Child is a most needed and valuable resource for both the child and parent. The Critical Thinking Child is highly recommended!

Lemi is one of the best educational minds in the nation. Her program is results driven and helps children solve problems in a practical way. The activities not only increase students knowledge, but they are designed to build a foundation and paradigm to increase their ability to learn increasingly difficult concepts. Both of my children are about 4 years ahead in reading and math. I know it is due to the training they have done with Lemi. Thanks to Lemi The Amazing Green Kids (Jael and Caleb Green) are an academic force to be reckon with!

Lemi is wonderful in her knowledge and work with children. Both of my school-aged sons have done the academic assessments with her. The result has been confirmation of their strong areas and clear direction about the areas that requires more work. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her services for my 3rd son too!

I loved her message. Lemi's story reminds me of my life Now!

My son worked with Lemi and her team when he was 4, and he gained incredible ground in a very short time. The teachers not only taught him a lot, but then they came out to the waiting room and taught me how to help him move forward. The techniques were incredible. Stuff I had never heard of that really made a difference. Manipulatives that worked. Certain handwriting programs that really worked. And a way to learn a lot of words really fast that sent him into a really high reading level. They told me his math needed very little work which allowed us to focus on his reading/writing. He ultimately got into one of the best schools in CPS and Illinois and the school fits like a glove. I don't think this should be the end goal, but I wanted to give him the opportunity... it just so happens he responded easily. My daughter is now starting classes and she is a totally different person than her brother, but Lemi and her team have her pegged too. The very first day, they knew her strengths and weaknesses and walked through them one by one with patience and a smile. I really can't say enough about this team of educators. They really are superhero teachers.

As a master’s level professor at University of Chicago, I have very high expectations for teaching and I can say that Critical Thinking Child has exceeded my expectations in every way. I have sent both of my Children to multiple boot camps at Critical Thinking Child and I can’t say enough good things. My children both LOVE learning and have LEARNED an immense amount. Many parents worry, myself included, that sending your child to a focused learning program will make them hate learning, but Critical Thinking Child has been the exact opposite. Critical Thinking Child has fostered a tremendous love on learning. I can’t say enough good things about Lemi Erinkitola and Critical Thinking Child

I have two children who both attended tutoring sessions and Bootcamp with The Critical Thinking Child prior to starting kindergarten. In both instances, they had such a good time that I am not sure they even realized that they were learning. In addition, staff gave my husband and I many ideas, tools and games to play with our kids at home to further enhance their development. I recommend The Critical Thinking Child to all of my friends, especially those who are navigating the selective enrollment process at Chicago Public Schools. Lemi and her staff are incredibly knowledgeable and patient with both students and their parents.

Lemi and her program are phenomenal! She helped me make sure my son excelled even under severe time restrains! Money well spent! Her program is fantastic!
