  • letter lab families are saying...

    “Letter Lab has been amazing for my daughter. Emily has been able to make learning fun and approachable for this age group. So fun in fact, that it's the highlight of my daughter’s week! She loves telling me about the games they play,  the “letter of the week,” and the prize she gets at the end of the session. It's been great watching her confidence with letters and words grow.”

  • letter lab families are saying...

    “Pre K letter lab and Emily have far exceeded my expectations! My daughter went into her first session interested in the alphabet and spelling and since her first session her interest has exploded. She constantly asks to sound words out together and wants to spell everything. She looks forward to Mondays each week and has the biggest smile on her face when she walks through the door. We can’t thank Emily enough for this wonderful learning experience!”

  • letter lab families are saying

    “Pre-K Letter Lab has been such a wonderful addition to my daughter’s week. Since she began, her knowledge and curiosity for literacy has peaked. She immediately started discussing letters and sounds regularly while recognizing them in everyday life. It was fun to see how excited she was each week to spend the hour with Emily, who is kind and caring, and an expert in her field. My daughter was always so proud of her accomplishments in Letter Lab, running out to tell me the letter of the week and all the activities they completed. I particularly loved the quick update Emily sent after each class so I could really engage with my daughter to watch firsthand her comprehension grow!”
