We help children master basic academic skills with fun, interactive learning programs that work. Every hour of every day, in schools and homes across the country and around the world, children are learning to read with Headsprout.

All Headsprout programs are fully learner tested and educationally verified.

Headsprout's mission is to be a major force in helping eliminate illiteracy in young children in this country in this decade.

Headsprout was founded in June 1999 by Greg Stikeleather, Drs. Joe Layng, Kent Johnson, and Edward L. Anderson - people who have spent the last 20 years improving education for young children. Their idea: to teach reading and other fundamental academic skills by deploying Headsprout’s proven, patented Sprout Learning™ technology via the Internet, for use in schools, homes, learning centers—wherever learning takes place.

Headsprout is based in Seattle, Washington, and is funded by Sofinnova Ventures, the Raisin Fund, Roser Ventures and private investors.«Less
