Testimonials

"Both of the Kindergarten students I worked with last year are in the first grade class I'm working with this year. The classroom teacher told me both are doing great and are up to/exceeding grade level now."

"I have had so much fun with the kiddos and their teachers. Very rewarding experience for me."

"It was a very nice time to be a volunteer in the Launch program and I have learned a lot from all of you."

"This is an excellent service you provide for the students."

"I was really surprised how much you could do in 15 minutes."

"I loved working with my student. I'm so impressed with Launch - how easily a game can motivate and teach a student to progress."

"The Launch program has helped me define my own attitude towards learning and to teaching my own kids. If they are happy when they are learning, they will soar!"

"Launch gives me access to resources for every situation and I valued the ability to share ideas and suggestions."

"When I first started working with my student, he didn't know many letters or sounds at all. Now he can sound out all the letters and is working on decodable books. He is so happy he can read, and I can see his pride and self-confidence increase."

"I worked with two creative, artistic young souls. Their attention to school work was initially low on their fun list. With the delightful counsel of the Launch program coordinator, the expansive Launch learning kits and the attentive teacher, we were able to turn around struggling unhappy faces and join their vibrant, cheery fun-loving class with a little grace and a lot of fun!!"

"I wish Launch was on offer at all schools. I've explained games and materials to friends and they have used the ideas to teach their children with great success."

"Every time I wake up on a 'Launch Day,' I'm so excited and happy that I get to work with my students."

"As the mother of a Kindergartner, it was very helpful learning how to work with Kindergartners. Launch was a great experience."
