From humble beginnings as a small toy store dedicated to providing unique toys and gifts that promote learning through play, the company has grown into the only full-service provider in the field of early care and education. It all started in 1951 when Leon and Renee Kaplan opened Tiny Town, a toy store in Greensboro, North Carolina. As Tiny Town grew, so did Leon's interest in educational books and toys. In 1968 he founded Kaplan Early Learning Company, affirming his commitment to providing toys that teach. Leon and Renee's son Hal joined the company in 1969 and he serves as the President and CEO today.
