From Jennifer Medica:
"We have been using The InvestiGator Club Curriculum series over the course of this year, and we couldn't be happier. It has tremendously helped in the classroom with both planning and assessing our students. The children are also thrilled with the program! They love it when Dilly and her friends come to visit and read stories with them. As a teacher of the Pre-K program, there are so many different ideas that are offered through the Teacher Guides of the series, that I sometimes run out of time to incorporate all of them! I would recommend this program to any other Pre-K teacher."

From Sue Banion:
"Love it, love it, love it. I love the music, the literature, the animals. There is something for every type of learner. You can hear, see, and touch.That makes it come alive. The children's interest in learning has grown."
From Jennifer Ricciotti:
"At first I was skeptical because of the use of characters. But the characters really drew the children in, and their excitement was enhanced by the use of the characters. The curriculum is helping to have a positive impact on their manners, social skills, and language skills. When children identify with the characters' traits, it helps build a connection to learning for them."
From Caron Knopoff:
"We use Creative Curriculum and The InvestiGator Club fits in beautifully with that resource. It also insures that all classrooms are getting the same quality when all are using The InvestiGator Club."
"The InvestiGator Club is wonderful for new teaching staff who needed the extra help and guidance. When followed, it assures us that we are following Illinois Early Education Standards. The children love the characters and the parents love the communication about the program. The training was the key for us. It helped our teachers to understand how to use the system and why it is being used. I think the scope and sequence was the icing on the cake."
Calvary Child Development Center - Charlotte, NC
From Mrs. Mathis:
“The curriculum goes far beyond the classroom. With traditional curriculums, the activities seem geared towards thinking about what you can do in the classroom, but with The InvestiGator Club we are always looking to extend our thinking outside the classroom. It also keeps me on track; I love knowing that I am covering a variety of skills.”
"The children can really relate to the characters, and it has significantly increased their vocabulary with words such as predictions, investigations, etc.”

From Mrs. Mucha:
"I used the summer school program, and was absolutely thrilled with the program. We had the fire pit set up and students camped around it, excited and thrilled to be "camping" and learning at the same time. The students were so engaged in the activities each day and they learned so much in preparing them for kindergarten!"

From Ms. Johns:
"Let me tell you how much we are enjoying teaching this and how enthralled the kids are with it. It is amazing. I have never seen my kids this excited to learn in the few years I've been teaching Pre-K. Thank you for creating such an amazing curriculum for 4-year-olds!"
