ABOUT
MY STORY
My story began when I went into my older daughter’s kindergarten classroom to help with Centers. This is where you were able to teach a topic to a group of children that were assigned to your table. Keeping their attention seemed hard at first, and then I realized that the more fun and creative I made it for them, then the more excited and engaged they were. When I captured their attention, they absorbed the material like sponges and looked for more. Shortly after this classroom visit, I coined the phrase “EduFUNcation” to put the fun in education.
The time was 1996. The internet was in its infancy stages, telephones were on our walls and desks, videos weren’t digital or streamed, and television, radio, or printed material were the only ways to advertise. There weren’t many choices for a children’s entertainment company to deliver content. The best option was live entertainment at schools and festivals.
As my planning began, I was amazed at the special bond between children and characters. Children were naturally attracted to characters, enabling a fun way to engage and interact. I studied characters over the years and volunteered as characters for many companies at family events. I knew that characters would play an important role in EduFUNcation.
As time went on, technology changed and EduFUNcation adapted. There was a need to deliver good quality educational content for children. With the advent of these new technical advances, EduFUNcation now had many opportunities to deliver content and function as a business. Characters and technology are passions of mine, so this company is a dream come true.
It’s amazing how EduFUNcation morphed over the years. With the creation of 3 new characters, fun and engaging educational videos, interactions with families using our website and social media, and merchandise for all children to enjoy, it is now a reality.
We look forward to this journey with all of you to educate and entertain our future generations by Putting The Fun In Education!®
