Early Learning Program – LiftOff®

Strengthening School Readiness Skills

I’m so glad LearningRx is here for my child, so she doesn’t have to struggle like I did. ”

It’s never too early for kids to start building learning skills! With our LiftOff^® early learning program, LearningRx helps kids as young as four years old develop school readiness and get the head start they need for a lifetime of learning!

Our LiftOff^® early learning program uses fun games and activities to engage learning and thinking skills in kids. These activities help kids build a strong foundation of skills, including:

Paying attention, ignoring distractions, and basic multitasking
Remembering key details during lessons and activities
Imagining sounds and understanding spoken language
Picturing mental images and processing visual information
Basic problem solving, logic, and reasoning abilities

Before starting LiftOff^®, kids take a skills assessment to measure existing cognitive skills. Based on these results, we build a custom school readiness plan for your child, focusing on their unique needs!

Our Programs are Backed by Science

The LiftOff^® program is based on decades of brain training research and practice. Brain training has helped countless individuals improve specific cognitive skills and overall cognitive performance.

From 2010-2022, our results for 1,773 children, ages 4-17, in our LiftOff^®program included large gains seen in long-term memory, working memory, and auditory processing. Auditory processing skills improved an average of 3.1 years after just 60 LearningRx brain training hours. The average gain in age-equivalent cognitive skill performance was 1.7 years in just 12 weeks.

By offering direct feedback, correction, and rewards for completing activities, we keep kids engaged with training, allowing them to quickly build skills according to their personal training plan.

(While individual results may vary, we’d love the opportunity to work with you or your child!)

Hear from our Students and Families

After first grade she had continued to fall behind. School work overwhelmed her and was often brought home to be completed along with her assigned homework. It took her hours to do everything even with help and she was frustrated every evening. Then we had her tested at LearningRx. At the beginning of 5^th grade. She has completed the Read program. Her dyslexia always made reading difficult for her, although she loved to be read to and had great comprehension skills when she listened to this story.

Ben & Jenny (Shreveport, LA)

She had taken and excelled in college-level science and math courses in 8th grade, but struggled to remember and apply a lot of the basic math she had learned. Despite our initial skepticism about whether LearningRx could make a big difference for such a good student, after just a few months at LearningRx, her ability to retain and use mathematical knowledge really took off. Her focus, clarity, speed, precision of understanding, and ability to solve problems quickly and accurately absolutely rocketed.

Dr. Tony & Christine Cox (Shreveport, LA)

For two or three years I knew something wasn’t right. The school kept telling me that he was at grade level and that it was okay. But it wasn’t okay, because he would avoid reading. We came [to LearningRx] in September and thy confirmed he had an auditory processing problem. It feels like the pressure is off my shoulders.

L. Jakeman (Shreveport, LA)

Last year, Kayla had a tough time concentrating, being organized, and completing tasks set for her. She was struggling in school and had low self-esteem. We knew she needed more help than we could give her. We received the flyer for LearningRx in the mail, attended the seminar, and have never looked back. LearningRx addressed all of Kayla’s needs and after the program was over we have our smart and self-confident daughter back again!

Brett (Shreveport, LA)

I am so glad that we found LearningRx as it has been a great experience for all of us. It really opened our eyes to the power of the mind and how it can adapt to anything. If one works on the deficiencies that they have, those deficiencies will soon become issues of the past and may even become strengths as they work their way through the LearningRx curriculum.

Jason (Shreveport, LA)

LearningRx gave me confidence and essential processing skills I needed for the future. I saw that when I worked at it, I could pass any level given to me, even if it seemed difficult at first. At school I began to finish tests more quickly and some homework assignments that I had were done faster than I thought they would take. Now that I have trained at LearningRx, I truly feel happier because of the amazing strides I have made from going though the program.

Adam (Shreveport, LA)

When I first came to LearningRx I was not sure they could help me. I had not learned how to focus and I had real problems with math—all kinds. Then I began to see results of the training as did others around me. The most drastic results were noticed by my math tutor. She could not believe the focus and memory that I now had.

Annie (Shreveport, LA)

Desmond has been known in school for his high intelligence and ability to catch on to concepts and even help his peers understand. Yet, even from a young age he was sometimes labeled as “defiant” or “lazy” because he would forget to put away a chair, or turn in his homework, or even remember to write down he had homework. LearningRx has been an answer to prayer. Desmond has had improvement in memory, articulation, processing, being able to hurry, being less overwhelmed. He gained confidence as his desires and his performance began to match up. Thank you!

Mike (Shreveport, LA)

The reason why I could succeed was that I was on ADHD medication, but the medication made me extremely depressed and enraged all of the time. When I stopped taking it, I was filled with great joy because of my newfound freedom. But something was still wrong. Without the medication, I forgot the first part of the sentence by the end of the second part of the sentence. My imagination never turned off, and despite going to school an hour early and tutoring for an hour after school, I barely passed with Cs. Then I enrolled in LearningRx. Within three months, I was on fire. I could concentrate, handle awkward social situations, find motivation, put my creative ideas in paper. I attacked school with newfound strength. Last year I was the slowest kid in the class, but this year I am one of the fastest and smartest.

Mark (Shreveport, LA)

I decided to come to LearningRx because of my dyslexia and memory problems and how they were affecting my school work. As I worked through the LearningRx program I noticed significant gains in my memory and how fast I work through things. I noticed that I can read a lot faster and that I remember to turn in my homework or information for tests. LearningRx helped me improve my school work and I feel a lot more confident with everything I do. LearningRx has made all the difference in the world.

Kelsea (Shreveport, LA)

When Katrina first came to LearningRx, we had a frustrated, almost angry daughter who was having a difficult time at school and receiving poor grades. To our delight, Katrina has made a transformation back into her true self in many ways. She’s happy again, speaking positively about her work, her performance, school, and herself in general. For the first time she wants to share what happened at school. She has shown such an attitude switch in many areas, we are thrilled.

Jane (Shreveport, LA)

After I attended LearningRx my work started taking me half the time! I would recommend LearningRx to anyone with a slow work pace… it’s fast and easy and really works!

Bryan (Shreveport, LA)

We found LearningRx when we were seeking help for our 10 year old son, Gabe. Every year at school, we were told that his reading is below grade level. This was exhibited at home with nightly struggles to complete homework, usually entailing two hours of arguing, tears and frustration to complete 15 minutes of homework. Almost immediately, Gabe was reading things at random out loud to us. When school started in the fall, he started doing his homework by himself, without the usual coaxing and arguing.

Kris (Shreveport, LA)

From day 1 to the last day training, Trenton’s ability to comprehend and retain any material that’s presented to him has greatly improved and has translated into better grades on his report card. Not only has his comprehension and retention improved, but his confidence has also improved because of LearningRx. It has been great experience with LearningRx, and we would recommend this program to any parent whose child needs that extra helping hand.

Alanna (Stonewall, LA)

As we celebrate her graduation, we can positively share that those nights have been replaced with a love for reading and a strong sense of self-confidence. Julie will tell anyone and everyone that LearningRx is the reason she now knows how to read and what strategies she knows to help her with her dyslexia. We cannot express the thanks and gratitude we have for all the staff at LearningRx Shreveport for truly caring for Julie. The Director, Donesa is top-notch and an advocate for the clients and family. The trainers are outstanding.

Dex (Shreveport, LA)

Hearing the news that your daughter has dyslexia is quite frightening. As a parent all you see is your bright, beautiful, and perfect little girl. Your first thought is fear, but then you want to help. Reaching out to LearningRx was the best academic decision we could have ever made for her. They have the sweetest staff, and we were blessed with the best trainer. She has truly transformed my daughter to a reader. Her confidence level when reading has tripled. Through all of the whining and complaining, they pushed through.

Brittany (Many, LA)

Before coming to LearningRx, I was on medication for ADD and was having a difficult time concentrating and staying focused on tasks. Just a couple weeks after starting my training, I stopped taking my medication and saw improvements in my daily activities. I am able now to focus on finishing a task once its started. I can remember things much better now as well such as things I need to do or grocery lists. The most significant improvement I have seen is in my attention.

Amanda (Vivian, LA)

Now I can finally read and sound out words! I can now read because of Mrs. Donesa and the LearningRx program! Before LearningRx, I thought I was just dumb! Some kids made fun of me because I could not read our sound out words. I did not like myself very much. Now I do! I can now participate in classes at school and church and not be embarrassed or afraid to read out loud or give answers like the other students. I am finally making decent grades! Now my mom cries when I read to her because I can read!

Tanner (Shongaloo, LA)

The entire LearningRx team and program made a tremendous impact on our daughter’s reading and processing speed. We loved working with all of the trainers and especially appreciated Ms. Gina’s dedication and care for our daughter’s growth and progress. The program is a significant commitment and investment, and it’s totally worth it. Thank you, LearningRx!!!

Nicole (Minnetonka, MN)

Thank you for giving Mila the opportunity to strengthen her skills through your learning program. This experience has been a great start to developing her reading skills.

Katelyn (Richmond Hill, ON)

LearningRx has been instrumental in Caiden’s progress this school year. Thanks to you, your encouragement, support, effective learning strategies and positive approach Caiden has gained so much confidence. We are excited about this growth both academically and emotionally and where this will take him. Thank you so much for seeing his potential.

David (Richmond Hill, ON)

What a difference 7 months makes. Thank you Khai, Jeri, and Jermy. Special thanks to Emily and Darian for their dedication and support. You both have made a positive and valuable improvement on my son. I am truly grateful and appreciative for your outstanding help. Thanks to Ada for filing in a couple of times.

Keisha & Nathan (Richmond Hill, ON)

I see positive changes in my child’s personally and school wise. My child’s spelling has improved as well as verbal communication.

Sarah (Fairfax, VA)

Gaining confidence and seeing the possibilities and benefits of learning even if you struggle.

Gina & Jeff (Fairfax, VA)

Ethan could not read at the beginning of his training. He had no confidence on himself. And the school did not support us as a family. The difference in his attitude is what makes me so happy and proud. He is a different kid. He not only knows he can do hard things but that he will succeed. That alone is the best feeling as a parent. Thank you for your patience and support Ms. Sandra and Mr. Don.

Magy (Fairfax, VA)

Michael’s confidence has increased and that is priceless. He is more content because he knows he can handle whatever is thrown his way. Michael’s self-esteem and confidence has grown, and this was so important to me. His attitude has changed from giving up before he has even started to sitting down and tackling the task!

Ryan (Tysons, VA)

I continually recommend the program to friends and other homeschool families. The changes in my daughter were incredible across so many skills. My daughter can do math so much easier than she could before. She is also reading easier and faster. Most importantly, her confidence has increased.

Michelle (Tysons, VA)

His trainer was fantastic and they were very flexible with scheduling. He can do math so much faster and easier. He listens and follows directions better and is able to stay on task with fewer reminders.

Katherine (Tysons, VA)

Our daughter always walked out after her session with a big smile, feeling more confident. Her short and long-term memory have improved, noticeable in her daily school and home routines. Her number sense has improved dramatically. Proof of this has been her ability to understand and work with factors, fractions, and the coordinate system, which I thought would be an extremely difficult task to accomplish.

Elvira (Tysons, VA)

From the moment I contacted Maureen to the last day, communication was clear, prompt, and professional. Our concerns about Omar were addressed, and a clear plan of action was given to us. A huge bonus was that Omar actually looked forward to going to see his teacher Tully and later Katie. On several occasions, I’ve heard Omar telling his friends how LearningRx is the best kind of tutoring he’s had because it’s “actually fun.”

Sarah (Tysons, VA)

Maureen was very caring about my son needs and struggles and helped us gain a better insight and a better picture on how to keep helping him grow and develop. His recommendations were custom- tailored to my son’s challenges and needs. Thank you!

Shamira (Tysons, VA)

Kayson is more confident with his schoolwork and baseball. He is become a better communicator. And his scores on homework has consistently become better. Grateful for what LearningRx training has done for both of our children.

Eros (Tysons, VA)

My son used to not be able to multitask. Now he can listen to music while working and listen to our conversation in the next room all at the same time. My son used to not be able to remember a two-step direction. Now he can be doing a task and be interrupted and come back to that task, not only remembering exactly what he was doing but also his mood is stable and not frustrated.

Karen (Tysons, VA)

Ms. Loftus and her entire team were absolutely wonderful to work with! After training with them, my son is now thriving at school, able to focus better, and his confidence levels have skyrocketed!

May (Tysons, VA)

LearningRx has been so beneficial to our 7-yr old who was struggling with reading. Seeing his progress over the months and through the pre- and post-program assessments has been incredible. Maureen and her team are so kind and supportive and figure out what each kid needs individually to grow their confidence and brain skills! Thank you, LearningRx!

Amy (Tysons, VA)

Impressive results and an incredibly caring staff who are very focused on our child’s development. Really pleased with the results!

CM (Tysons, VA)

For us it’s not about improving his grade so much as his toolbox to be independent and in control of his studies and being inspired to do his best. Christen is such a wonderful guide for him – funny, motivating and kind. She has figured out his personality and designs the program to suit him. He willingly tears himself from his video games to come to class which is no small thing. We are really happy we found LearningRx and find it worth every penny.

Sarah (Tysons, VA)

My son has made tremendous progress in multiple areas! He’s more confident and was even mentioning today, weeks after LearningRx ended, that he wants to go back and say hi to everyone since he loved his trainers! Highly recommend this program.

Sapana (Sugar Land, TX)

This program has really helped him believe in himself when it comes to trying something new or doing something he’s scared to do, or that’s just plain hard. His brain can quickly process the situation and engage in what needs to get done. He doesn’t get as frustrated when doing schoolwork. He’s always had issues with fine motor skills like doing buttons. Brain training has helped with that too, and now he’s able to do his own buttons on his clothes. Everyone could benefit from these services and this program.

Lisa (Sugar Land, TX)

The trainers were excellent and helped Lucas improve so much in processing speed and logic. LearningRx has helped our son so much in improving his processing speed, focus and memory.

Jainy (Sugar Land, TX)

Our experience in LearningRx has been the best decision we ever made. The trainers are the best and the passion they put into it made a difference in my child’s life. We have seen so much improvement on our son that from day one we knew we were at the right place to starting to read and now able to even read and text back to people when before he was using voice command. He grew self-esteem and more.

Cyndy (Sugar Land, TX)

It is a wonderful service. The tutors are amazing and I love the program.

Jaime (Sugar Land, TX)

I see improvements in my son’s focus and grades at school. In my opinion, the program works. But Lisa and other staff are great in their performance. They show results.

Dewi (Sugar Land, TX)

We can see improvement in his social skills and improvement in school performance. Created a caring atmosphere for our son.

Tina (Sugar Land, TX)

Caroline had positive results from the program. The team was consultative and provided regular feedback about Caroline’s progress. Also, the team was flexible with scheduling conflicts. Stronger test scores in school.

Lydia (Short Hills, NJ)

LearningRx in Shoreview is absolutely incredible. We are amazed at the progress our 8-year-old grandson has made since September. Focus, processing, memory functions and reading fluency have all been positively impacted. The staff is friendly and well trained. We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience.

Jeanne (Shoreview, MN)

We could not recommend this program enough. They worked with us virtually as we were out of state. We wouldn’t have been able to do it if they didn’t have that flexibility. It requires a lot of work on the participants’ part, but we have seen our son grow leaps and bounds in his ability to read and enjoyment of it. It’s worth the investment

Colleen (Shoreview, MN)

My daughter and son in-law needed to find a way to get their daughter some help with reading. They spoke with a few friends that had children that attended LearningRx with great success. After the evaluation she started and immediately embraced the learning process. I feel very fortunate to be able to bring her to the classes when I can. I am very impressed with her progress in such a short time. Her goal is to be able to read a chapter book like her siblings mine is just to see her read without out her being embarrassed.

Corky (Shoreview, MN)

He has struggled with reading and writing since preschool and only continued to fall further behind even with an IEP/school support plan. Coming to LearningRx has been the best decision we have ever made for our son. He absolutely loves coming, the staff is extremely friendly and, also encouraging. We’ve seen tremendous growth in his reading skills and working memory.

Susan (Shoreview, MN)

I can’t say enough good things about LearningRx in Shoreview! My son has made incredible progress since starting their program. The trainers are not only highly skilled but also genuinely care about each child’s growth and success. The personalized brain training approach has helped boost his confidence, focus, and learning abilities in ways we never imagined. We’ve seen noticeable improvements in his reading, memory, and problem-solving skills.
