Excelligence Learning Corporation, a leading provider of educational tools and solutions to early childhood and elementary school teachers and parents, has acquired the Letter People and the DIG comprehensive pre-kindergarten curriculum from Abrams Learning Trends. The Abrams products acquired will be incorporated into Frog Street Press, a subsidiary of Excelligence and leading provider of comprehensive early childhood education solutions for children of ages 0 – 5 years to public schools, Head Start programs and child care centers.
Dipak Golechha, President & CEO, noted, “The early childhood set of products from Abrams Learning Trends rounds out our curriculum portfolio, adds scale to our Frog Street division and further validates Excelligence as the consolidator of choice in our industry.”
“We are excited to add the DIG curriculum and the Letter People into the Frog Street suite of products,” said Ron Chase, President of Frog Street Press. “The Letter People have been an iconic product line in the early childhood space since 1972, and the DIG (Develop, Inspire, Grow) curriculum is a great compliment to Frog Street’s current product offerings.”
Abrams CEO Aaron Mayers stated, “With their strong presence in the early childhood education space, Frog Street was my first choice when we decided to exit the business, and this will be a great home for both DIG and the Letter People. It was extremely important to me to find a new owner with a strong reputation and a dominant presence in early childhood to carry on the legacy of both the Letter People and the DIG pre-kindergarten curriculum.”
