A preschool homeschool curriculum for raising exceptional thinkers, learners and communicators

Words can’t express how impressed I am. The work you have put into this program is astonishing and I am so grateful. I am thrilled to have found you and this curriculum! I’m just blown away at how brilliantly these lessons build on each other and at the way my son is picking up all these concepts so well. His favorite is the Construction module and he’s been so quick to catch on to the 3-view schemes. Such a gift to be able to watch your child learn in real-time, isn’t it? Thank you again for all your hard work on this program, Katie. It’s truly invaluable.

I have done an extensive amount of research over homeschooling and all that pertains to it. I researched for over two years almost on a daily basis. I wanted to know everything about it. It might be overkill but I am thorough. Most of the things I find that we are going to include in our overall curriculum jump out at me. YOURS very much did this. I have never seen anything quite like it. Also, your customer service is EXCEPTIONAL. To personalize most purchases for each family is quite a job and also very uncommon. I don’t know if in the extensive research I have done if anyone else compares to what you are doing across the board. I surely hope you NEVER lose this touch. Kudos to you all. I just want to say, from the homeschooling community WE VERY MUCH THANK YOU.

You and your team have clearly done an exceptional job with this curriculum. We are having so much fun with it! I seriously love it. It’s simple to print, it’s fun to do and then afterwards, it’s amazing how many life experiences we have where he ties in something he learned in the program! I feel like it was the right ticket for us and and I am so grateful we found you!

We’re hooked on Key to Learning now! I wanted to tell you what a fantastic program this is… so well-thought-out and how much content and pith it has! I’m very impressed. My son really enjoys the lessons. The good thing is he remembers the ones he likes and requests doing them again, so we’ve been recycling some. It’s great because the second time around you experience it differently. I will definitely share my positive experience with your curriculum in some groups.  Thanks again for all your help.

It’s something that’s having such a positive impact on our lives! Most of the activities come with a twist or some kind of story or purpose for the child. This gets my kids engaged every time. This is what sets it apart from the other activities I see on the internet, which assume the kid will want to do something just for the sake of learning. Somehow it really does expand your imagination. The activities show extension into our daily life. I’ve never experienced that before with other kids’ activities. It’s great for identifying where your kid’s ‘ceiling of knowledge is’. This helps me know what to point out to them as we go through our day. It’s thorough, and seems to cover every area from drama to art to maths to social science, to construction, to creative ‘writing’, to design! There’s something for everyone.

I am just blown away by everything. I have a degree in education and sociology, and agree with you whole-heartedly on everything. You just have a wonderful gift for sharing all your knowledge!

My child’s reasoning, logic, memory, spatial awareness, creativity, comprehension, critical thinking, perseverance and problem-solving have come on in leaps and bounds since we started with these games. And we really do enjoy doing the activities together. So many of them have become favourites and we play them again and again. What a wonderful childhood she’s having – so glad to have found Key to Learning at Home! Thank you!

We are still really enjoying the curriculum and as I hear of other families with children of a similar age slogging through phonics exercises sent home from their primary school, I am pretty thankful to be doing Key to Learning @Home! Thanks so much!

I just wanted to say that I am so impressed with the program so far. My son adores his “activities” as he calls them. The way they are intertwined is so clever and it is so nice to have something easy and fun with benefits to pull out for him each day.

I’m truly impressed with everything. The materials are eye-catching and really easy to use. I am a teacher too, but the ‘twist’ that the activities have has made me realise how we can approach learning from a new perspective. What I like best is the bond we are starting to create around it. My son is aware that I have a ‘special file’ where I keep the resources. I love the fact that he is so eager to do the sessions with me but I have to be careful about where I leave it; if it is within his sight, he insists I take out a ‘game’ and that we start playing! I am really happy we have started doing this program and that I am being supported in the process of guiding my child on this amazing journey. I’m absolutely delighted. Thank you!

We’ve started doing some of the activities, and they are a hit so far! My almost 5yo has been super engaged with them. I have to admit, the more I learn, the more I impressed I am with how well designed this program is!

I don’t really know how Key to Learning works but it certainly does! My son is very self-motivated in his desire to learn. He sets himself little challenges to improve at his school work and music lessons – not normal for a 5-year-old boy I’m sure! And the best part is that we have so much fun doing it!

Thanks again for working with me to make this work with our life situation and our daughter’s pace! I greatly appreciate it! We are thinking we will be finishing up the curriculum in the next six months 😔 Sad face because I love it and don’t want it to end! Do you have any recommendations for next steps? I know this gives them a foundation for going into regular curriculum… but is there anything similar for older learners? 🤞

Working full-time at the same time doing this has always been a challenge. But looking back and seeing our child develop through this programme, it was definitely worthwhile. Thanks Katie and your team.

We just got our Physical Product Pack. So much fun! I don’t think the kids will come up for air anytime soon 😍 You are awesome; thanks so much!!

I couldn’t believe my eyes to discover my daughter had completed the program. I didn’t know if I wanted to cry or smile until I informed my daughter and she started to cry, then I had teary eyes too. I gathered up courage and congratulated her for completing the program, telling her how awesome, engaging and impactful our journey had been. I let her know life is in phases, and she has just finished one! Thank you, Katie, for your support and love. Thank you, Key to Learning, for the outstanding impact!

I am absolutely thrilled to find you guys. It’s *exactly* what I have been looking for. My girls and I are really enjoying the lessons so much. 🙂 Thank you for having a great program!

I have seen preschools all over the world. There are some excellent examples, particularly in New Zealand, USA and Northern Italy, but this (curriculum) is outstanding. I do not believe I have seen a better one the world over.

In my 20 years of research in education, I have never seen a program that develops language and communication as effectively as Key to Learning does. For two years, I evaluated the effect of the Key to Learning curriculum on a group of young learners. The impact of this program was greatest on the child’s vocabulary, creative language and focused attention. This was confirmed by experimental data. Key to Learning crosses cultural boundaries and it clearly has a marked impact on the child’s cognitive development.

Arguably, I benefited as much as my children from Key to Learning. And that’s the special gift Galina brings us as educators and parents – these methods scaffold our intuition and allow us to be what the children in our care need. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Galina. This world is a better place because you are in it.

What sets Key to Learning apart from any other preschool program I have ever seen is the depth of conceptual planning. It literally sparkles with superb, original, educational ideas. The emphasis is on the development of children’s abilities to think in symbolic terms – leading to higher order thinking skills in later life.

Key to Learning is phenomenally impressive. It has depth and breadth, rigour and flexibility, insight and inclusion. It truly is a Vygotskian approach, carrying through to the 21st Century his monumental discovery that human learning and development are a unified whole. Unlike any other curriculum I am aware of, ‘Key to Learning’ relates to young children as, in Vygotsky’s words, ‘a head taller than they are’ – which is an essential characteristic of a developmental learning environment.

One of my research officers visited one of your private nurseries and was just bowled over by the work the children were doing. She thinks your programme is brilliant! And so do I.

As a primary teacher, I’ve been hooked on the work of Lev Vygotsky since first discovering his writing in the 1980s. His stress on ‘unlocking possibilities’ within children’s minds is a much more exciting and liberating vision of education than our western preoccupation with measuring current progress against arbitrary standards. In Key to Learning, Galina and the team transformed all this Vygotskian theory into a clear, accessible course of practice for children between the ages of 3 and 6. I was deeply impressed. The levels of language and cognitive skills displayed by the children were remarkable and the activities were imaginative and exciting.

As an educational psychologist, I was delighted to be involved in carrying out a pilot study of Developmental Games, one of the components in the ‘Key to Learning’ curriculum. One of the most interesting findings in the qualitative data from the study was the diversity of impact of the programme on children’s learning and manifestation of this. Although the main emphasis (of this module) is upon visual-spatial skills and creativity, staff reports that Key to Learning has a significant impact upon language and communication, co-operation and confidence.

Key to Learning accomplishes probably one of the most difficult tasks in the field of early education – preparing children for rigorous formal education and at the same time, fostering their age-specific behaviour and creativity.

The ‘Key to Learning’ materials and activities create and facilitate the learning situation. The materials transform almost magically into instruments and lessons that enchant the audience. Galina has inspired many parents, preschool teachers and educational psychologists to deliver to our youngest learners the tools they need to uncover their own abilities and master the tools they will need to handle the various scenarios in their future lives. This is how ‘Key to Learning’ opens up the possibilities of success for everyone, and it’s what makes Galina and her curriculum so special and unique.

I attended one of your courses in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. When the Primary One children commenced, I introduced 4 modules to them. They responded with great enthusiasm and their level of engagement was such as I had not witnessed before. This cohort had been flagged up from their nursery as having a number of children with a range of social and academic difficulties. As the sessions progressed, I began to observe how quickly this group could absorb new learning across all curricular areas. Moreover, the problems that were indicated by the nursery staff did not arise. I can honestly report that ‘Key to Learning’ has improved the child’s acquisition of new skills and given me great pleasure working with children who are displaying such a thirst for learning.
