The Elemental Science Story (aka How We Got Started)
Elemental Science began when I was researching programs for my daughter to use for first grade. In my research I was unable to find a program that was affordable, fit with the classical education model and was fun to do. So, I began to write my own program.
One day, in early 2008, as I was busily working on the program my husband asked me what I was doing. “I’m writing a science program for our daughter’s first grade year,” I said.
He replied, “That seems like an awful lot of work for one student. Why don’t you just buy a program?”
I politely informed him, “There’s nothing out there that fits what I want.” I then proceeded to list of my criteria and the programs I researched and why they didn’t fit.
“Well, if you couldn’t find what you wanted, don’t you think others can’t find it either? You should try to sell it,” he said.
That day the idea for Elemental Science was born.
Where we are now (2011)
We started small. At first you couldn’t even purchase our program from the website! But over time, as our product line has grown and we’ve streamlined the ordering process, making it easier for our customers. We’ve added an artist, an editor and a shipping specialist to our team. Through all that, we’ve remained focused on providing high quality science materials at affordable prices, so that you can get science done!
As we look forward to the future, we plan on expanding our product line to contain programs for preschool all the way up to your high schooler. We also look forward to adding additional options to our main product line. We plan to continue to update our current programs as needed. Above all, we are committed to providing you with the same type of customer service we would expect to receive.
