I absolutely love Country Life, but more importantly, my kids love it! They are excited to go to school every day. They are learning life skills, social skills, and practicing creativity, in addition to early reading, writing, and math. The best part is that they have developed a LOVE for learning and they crave it. They get to play outside for a large portion of the day and just be kids, and they come home tired and happy. Country Life is truly a treasure!
