Update #1: Thank You!

Posted on February 12

We made it to our funding goal thanks to everyone's generous support. We really, really, really appreciate it. 

With this new funding source we can focus even more refining the Step By Step product. We're working on more in depth lesson plans, as well as improving the over all look of the product (packaging, marketing, etc). 

Thanks again, and we'll keep you updated on our progress.

P.S. If you happen to be in New Milford, CT on March 3rd, why not stop by our open house. Step By Step will be one of the things there that people can see and try out. We'll be at the train station (11 Railroad St.) from 10:00 to 3:00.

      Thanks for asking. Lots of things are happening.
      - We have a great new source for water-proof and tear-proof sets of cards.
      - We have located a couple of good sources for the floor tiles.
      - We have been expanding our Teacher's guide.
      And we hope to begin sending out the reward packages by the March 15th
