Founded in 2001, Little Laureate set the bar for a new quality standard with the release of its first two DVDs. Astoundingly well-received by both the public and the press, the company won several major awards, including Parenting magazine's Video of the Year, the National Parenting Publications Association's Gold Award, and many others. In fact, in an unprecedented write-in poll, the readers of #1-rated Parents magazine voted the Little Laureate series one of the "Best Video Series for Small Children of All Time."
