Liliom was 4 years old when she started the Creative Academy. She was incredibly shy and had not spent anytime away from us, and didn’t want to start school. By the end of the first week she was so in love with Ilima Morris and enjoyed the activities so much that she would ask to go to school everyday. By the end of the program she was a confident young lady, performing for us at home all that she learned at school. She would sing, dance and show off her new gymnastics skills. She learned how to do cartwheels, back bend kick overs, started learning the basics on the aerial silks. She also excelled academically.

 

We are a bilingual family and spoke mostly Hungarian at home, and when she started the program she was just beginning to learn how to communicate in English. By the end of the school year, she was interacting easily with other kids, as her language skills had improved dramatically. It was truly a joy to see her go through such a profound transformation in every way. This was only possible because of the safe, loving, nurturing, fun and exciting environment that Ilima created. We feel so blessed that Liliom had the opportunity to attend this incredibly dynamic program with one of the best teachers of all time.
