About the Event

Do you need help preparing your child for the upcoming CPS selective enrollment exam? Are you interested in test prep/ tutoring enrichment for gifted programs or perhaps your child is specifically testing for early entrance to Kindergarten?  You’ve come to the place! 

This is a unique academic enrichment program that helps children ages 4-5  get ready for the test and advance their thinking skills through a series of fun and intriguing questions, puzzle play and engaging brain boosting activities. 

We’ll spark your child’s natural curiosity as they learn to focus, pay attention and experience significant academic gains in reading, math, and vocabulary.

This program was designed by multi award-winning educator, children’s book author:  Lemi-Ola Erinkitola.

For over a decade, this one-of-a-kind program continues to yield high achieving results for young learners and offers great benefits for busy parents seeking support on academic Kindergarten readiness, summer enrichment or selective enrollment test prep.
