MOJO Mission
Dare to be different in making a difference in early childhood education
About
At MOJO Education, we specialize in designing and producing resources for children that feature real images of people from around the world. We collaborate with cultural groups, community leaders, teachers, and other education professionals to create relevant, multicultural education resources that inspire a deeper appreciation for diversity in early childhood classrooms.
​
Since our founding in 2006, we have been committed to authenticity and realistic representation of world cultures. We believe that “real” matters because children’s families, communities, and classrooms are filled with real people from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
​
Our products align with state and national recommendations for diversity in early childhood education. In 2007, MOJO Education received the Scholastic Teacher’s Choice Award for its Children Around the World Faces Puzzle, which continues to be a top seller today.
​
The MOJO team has traveled across the country, presenting at state and national early childhood education conferences to promote the importance of integrating diversity in early childhood education efforts. In addition to educational resources, MOJO Education also offers professional development training and consulting services for early childhood programs, including Early Head Start, Head Start, First Steps, Smart Start, and private early childhood programs.
MOJO Education has been a certified
HUB (Historically Underutilized Business),
MBE (Minority-Owned Business), and
WBE (Women Business Enterprise) since 2011.
