Heartsoft's software development philosophy is to concentrate on curriculum content, with the graphics playing a secondary role. Graphics should assist with the learning process, not overpower or dominate it. Overuse of graphics results in a "game" or "entertainment" experience rather than a learning experience. Additionally, our content is designed to be a companion to the classroom experience, not a replacement for it. Our goal is to provide a well-conceived, well-executed, affordable tool to the teacher.....a tool which is designed to maximize on the strengths of the computer to reinforce and augment classroom teaching.

"Basic programs for basic skills".
