Our family remains grateful for our kid's time at Elan Vital, from 3-6 years old. She was loved, nurtured, allowed to be a kid. Hands on learning, playing in the dirt, huge investment in teaching social intelligence. I've read some really pissy reviews where parents are like "my kid was behind when she went to Kindergarten" -- but my kid was on level as well as other parents I know, she got into the gifted program where she is thriving in first grade. I loved that the priority was the whole child rather than drilling my four year old on skills - she also had art, Spanish, yoga, and creative movement instruction. We could not have asked for more. Highly recommended. read more
