Natalie
As an infant and toddler, Natalie met benchmark aggressively. Pre-school began and the milestones continued to progress as expected. While in Kindergarten and 1st grade, Natalie continued to make progress but not to the potential, in my opinion. Some educators said she will mature in focus, she was just average, and that our expectations were high. 2nd grade came and as a mom and educator (for 19 years) I could not let my intuition waste more academic gains. With many school meetings I realized that we, Natalie’s Parents, knew most about her and wanted her BEST more than the caring folks she shared 7 ½ hour days with. Se we decided to research and press on our own.
The summer before 3rd grade, I began to notice the physical toll reading took on Natalie well rested and FRESH! One evening, I called Brain Balance. I knew that time mattered so much grows a child’s academic progression before age 9. From the start, I could feel they KNEW Natalie, her strengths and stretches. After 8 dedicated months, Natalie is more emotionally engaged, academically parallel to her efforts and potential, and physically stronger than we could imagine!
The persistence, push, pride, and POWER that Brain Balance encourages and expects has brought Natalie further on her road to her personal BEST! We are SO EXCITED for her future!
