  • The kids look forward to HomeStart every month. It's a lot of fun for all of us.

  • I love the way phonics is presented. My son enjoys matching clues to new words. ''I can read these words,'' he shouts. Music to my ears!!

  • The math activities are very clever and challenging! Our child has learned so much and most importantly looks forward to each month's HomeStart. Keep these clever activities coming!!!

  • The book suggestions are a bonus for me. I am able to zero in on what interests my child in the monthly subscription and then enhance a particular skill or concept by reading an enjoyable book - I do not have to beg my child to pick out a book at the library. I know exactly what will work!! - thanks a lot!!

  • I am truly inspired by Homestart Learning Solutions in fact and in theory. Studies clearly show that when parents are involved in their child's education, they instill the love of learning. Kudos to HomeStart!
