The early childhood education market is growing rapidly
due to a substantial research base pointing to the dramatic effects of a
quality preschool education on the future success of individuals and on
the long-term positive impact on society and the economy. The latest scientific
research in how young children learn has validated many time-honored classroom
practices and has created a new sense of urgency for educators committed
to giving all young children the experiences and skills they need to be
successful learners.
Robert-Leslie Publishing, The Early Childhood Company, was formed by James
and Judith Coffey in March 2005, in response to this need. The company has
a serious mission — helping young children succeed by learning about the
world and their place in it.
With over thirty years in the early childhood and educational publishing
arenas, the founders have surrounded themselves with a management team,
authors, and advisors who have an impressive record of accomplishments
and expertise in early childhood education and publishing.
Public, private, and government pressure to focus attention and allocate
resources to prekindergarten education is driving the trend towards universal
pre-k for all children. This trend is resulting in the growth of the preschool
market, public and private, and an increased need for quality teaching products
to be used in these new and expanded classrooms, as well as by parents educating
their children at home.
At the forefront of Robert-Leslie's mission will be the consistent publication
of exciting, developmentally appropriate, research-based learning materials
for children, teachers, parents, and school administrators. |
