Sponsored by the Mensa Foundation, www.MensaForKids.org provides a place for our Young Mensans and other smart children ages 6-10 to play and learn. The site includes educational and challenging games; resources for kids, parents and teachers, including lesson plans and study tips; and a thought-provoking Feature of the Month written by a Mensan for the younger audience.

The site's mascot, Max, got his name through a national contest that garnered more than 200 entries in the site's inaugural year.

Mensa For Kids was honored with the 2008 Bronze EXCEL Award for Online Publishing-Web Site Design Excellence. The EXCEL program annually judges more than 1,200 magazines, newsletters, scholarly journals, electronic publications and Web sites.

Meet Jan Van Blarcum | Founder

In 1999, Jan Van Blarcum, Ph.D. founded Creative Tutors. As an educator, Dr. Van Blarcum understood the importance of personalized attention in a child's educational growth. Her passion for learning grew into a business endeavor that provides customized, one-on-one, in-home tutoring to children with a variety of learning needs. Every child receives personalized attention from certified/degreed educators. Jan has acquired invaluable experience through living abroad, teaching in many educational environments and has acquired business development experience. These unique experiences, coupled with her fervent desire to provide all children with the tools needed to achieve their potential in today's educational environment, led her to establish Creative Tutors and their sister organization Creative Learning 4 Kids, Inc. a 501(c)(3) company.
