Earley Learning Systems, Inc., a family owned and operated company, has been representing publishers of instructional materials for 30 years. In 1975, Jim worked selling educational materials in the Westchester, NY area. In 1978, Jim, Corrine, and their boys moved to South Florida. He worked from a small desk in their bedroom and stored materials in a closet underneath the stairs, while Corrine was a Middle School math teacher. In 1983, she joined her husband in the business. The same year, the company was incorporated. Jim got the idea of the name from a reading program he used when he was a teacher. In 1995, Jim and Corrine's son Ramana joined them as an apprentice. From answering phones to doing payroll, Ramana took care of the office. In 2000, he became a sales representative, but is still an integral part of the business. After attending college, Jim and Corrine's son Gabriel joined the family business as a sales representative in 1997. Jim's brother Brian also became a part of the team at that time. In early 1999, the Earley's were able to lease 1,200 square feet of real office space on Wiles Road in Coral Springs. It was a dream come true. In 2002, Christina Lemke joined the ELS team to become the private school representative and educational consultant. 2004 was a year of growth and changes for ELS and the Earley family. Martha Genao became the Administrative Assistant in March. In July, the company moved into its newly built corporate headquarters in Margate. The building is over 2,500 square feet and includes offices, a showroom, and a bookstore. This was a dream come true for Jim and Corinne. In September, Ramana and Christina were married on a beautiful day between Hurricanes Ivan and Jeanne. Also in 2004, Mark Edwards joined the ELS family and is the panhandle representative. The ELS team is comprised of 8 sales reps covering the entire state of Florida, from the panhandle to Key West, to be your on-site specialist for over 4,000 schools.
