Info

The Education Center was founded in 1973 by Marge and Jake Michel. Like many other educators, they were frustrated by the lack of practical, ready-to-use materials for the classroom. So they created several products in their spare time, and the company grew from there. Countless teachers have contributed to The MAILBOX® for more than 25 years. Some teachers are so excited about the opportunity to create ideas for other teachers that they join our staff in Greensboro, North Carolina. As the company has grown over the years, our staff of former teachers has continued to produce high-quality, practical, ready-to-use materials for other elementary teachers. Hundreds of thousands of teachers across the country depend on our products to enrich their lesson plans, to speed up their planning time, and to leave them more time to do what they love best--teach. This family of creative people has helped to insure that our products are known and loved by teachers throughout the country. As a matter of fact, The MAILBOX® is America's #1 Teaching Resource! Because our products are developed by teachers with hands-on classroom experience, all of our materials are developmentally appropriate, educationally sound, and fun! Our commitment is to make teachers' lives simpler by providing them with the kinds of resource materials that will save time and enrich the classroom experience.
