Sara,

Thank you for your message. We would be happy for you to use RightStart for not only your oldest daughter, but for your three younger children also.

When a parent first starts RightStart, there is some time to prepare for a lesson. However once you are using RightStart the preparation time is less and less as time goes one. It is not typical for a lesson to last 2 hours a day.

I would suggest before you choose what level to begin with, do our Starting Level Questionnaire (http://www.alabacus.com/questions/). This will help in guiding you to the correct level to begin with.

We do offer discounts on all of our Starter Kits, therefore you have everything you need in one package and you get a great deal on it also! :)

I understand your concern, but just so you are aware we have many families who use RightStart and have multiple children at various levels.

I hope this helps, please let me know if there is anything else we can assist with.

Make it a great day,

Cassie
