Importance of preschool academics

Your children’s success—or lack of success in the classroom—will help shape their view of themselves.  Our award-winning products build self-esteem and help develop a lifelong love of learning.  Just 20 minutes a day can have a huge impact on your children’s academic skills when they enter kindergarten.  You can easily have your preschooler enter kindergarten at a first-grade level!  This works wonders on a child’s self-esteem.  Remember, you are your child’s best teacher.  Your child—especially a young child—would rather spend time with you than anyone else.  There is no better investment of your time than your children’s education. 

Why our preschool products are different
Our products are fun and engaging, but unlike many products on the market, our products develop academic skills and critical thinking to help your child succeed in school and life.  We engineer critical thinking into our reading and mathematics material to teach them to solve problems through organized analysis—instead of guesswork.  We encourage discussion to stimulate verbal development as children communicate their reasoning and solutions.

Customer Testimonials: 

"As a homeschooling mother of five, I wanted to thank you for such wonderful products. We have changed our homeschool curriculum to focus on your Critical Thinking Company™ products--after spending a small fortune on materials that were watered down and not effective--and couldn't be happier. I wish we had found your products earlier. Our younger children that have used your core curriculum products since preschool are all performing above their age groups and loving the challenge of learning!

Mathematical Reasoning™ presents math in a way that makes it not only simple to learn, but also practical to apply to everyday circumstance --obviously making math more meaningful to him. I cannot brag enough on Building Thinking Skills™ and how it starts students out at a young age with organizing thoughts, brainstorming, and categorizing, all of which are crucial as college students and adults but unfortunately these skills tend to be overlooked in other curriculums. Our whole family enjoys the riddles and brain teasers from Thinker Doodles and Dr. DooRiddles that fill our van with giggles and discussion on long trips. Thank you for such wonderful products! Three cheers for exceeding the status quo!!!"
- Katherine David, MS

"I bought Thinker Doodles: Think, Draw & Color for my five-year-old. She is a little artist and loves to color, but traditional coloring books don't keep her attention. These do! The directions make her think about what she's doing, but still allow for creativity. I've been very impressed. She has too!" - Dani Bolyard, WA

"Mathematical Reasoning® is excellent for the parent who wants to start teaching math concepts to his/her preschooler. I used this book with a couple of my preschool students and they enjoyed the working one on one with their teacher. The pace was easy and taught a progression for the students. I liked using the tips at the front of the book. The students also enjoyed the colored pictures and the expressions on some of the characters in the book. As a teacher I liked the problem-solving activities as these could be used over again or with several students in the classroom. This book helped no only with math concepts but with listening skills for young folks with very short attention spans." - iParenting Media Reviewer

"As a mother of four children ages five and under it is hard for me to find the time and energy to stay consistent with our studies, but with this new element of excitement you have just made my role in education so much easier!"
- Cori R., MI

"The Dr. DooRiddles books are fun for children but are not just for enjoyment and not merely an add-on to regular studies. They foster the important component of higher order thinking so vital to initiate and develop in the early childhood years." - Dr. Paul Cates
