Has anyone recieved a call from these people they are also call project Head Start. They are based out of Calgary. I would advise you not to go through the application and presentaion it only leads to further pushing of a salesperson saying that your child needs this in order to be successful in school and in life. The program would of costed 3600.00cnd. My husband and I did not go through with this and began to research them out, and found that there program was not worth what the asking price was,aswell there company made over 3.8 million dollars in 2005. This does not sound like a research company striving to better the education of our future childern.

If you are also wondering how they get you number to call you they buy lists from companies like huggies or what ever company that says hey sign up and we will send you free stuff etc.

I am only putting out a warning I was lucky my Husband was on the ball, because these people are very convincing, but do your home work, and really the best thing we can do for our is talk and read lots to our kids.

We had them come by with our firstborn and didn't get the stuff either.  It seemed like too much.  I want my kids to play when they're little, not have to learn all the time.  That's what school is for.   Plus, they learn a lot just by playing around.
