Cindy Coleman, M.Ed. conceived the idea for iKnow Animals, Letters & Sounds at her sister's kitchen table while playing the animal-alphabet game she made up for her nephews. Cindy and her nephews played this game for hours.

“It was our dream to create an inspiring educational program,” says Coleman. “One that would balance ‘reading readiness’ with joy-filled childhood exploration; encouraging children to dream, imagine, be curious about the world around them, and learn that their contribution matters.”

Through its partnership with the San Diego Zoo, Take Pride Learning and its products are making a valuable contribution to global preservation and conservation efforts.

"We believe building a strong foundation for reading gives children an advantage in school. We believe building character and self-confidence and developing self-esteem and a sense of pride gives children an advantage in life."
