STORYBOOK TREASURES INC

What STORYBOOK TREASURES INC does

StoryBook Treasures Inc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2014 by Denise Corbo and headquartered in Ashburn, Virginia, that designs and distributes PK-5th grade literacy enrichment programs to schools, districts, and families across the United States. The organization produces comprehensive classroom kits—five per school year—containing age-appropriate children's books, thematic "treasures" (toys), student mini-books and workbooks, parent bookmarks, 5-day lesson plans, PowerPoint presentations, tote bags, and student t-shirts, with bilingual (English/Spanish) parent materials available. The product portfolio also includes grade-specific Summer Enrichment Kits designed to mitigate summer learning loss, a $29 bimonthly at-home subscription kit for Preschool through 3rd Grade, and limited-edition cultural kits such as Josie Dances and Jolly Mon.

The underlying platform is a Wix-hosted website with an e-commerce storefront and an interest-form/quote-request flow; lesson delivery relies on PowerPoint rather than any adaptive or digital learning system. StoryBook Treasures monetizes through direct unit-priced kit sales to schools and districts ($95/student/year classroom, $79/student summer), recurring subscription revenue ($29 every 2 months for home kits), and donations/sponsorships from individuals and corporate partners including Duke, the Nora Roberts Foundation, Dreyfus, Loudoun Education Foundation, Benevity, Bright Fund, and Global Giving. The customer mix spans Title I schools and economically disadvantaged communities (primary), homeschool families, summer programs (camps/libraries), and individual consumers, with sales-led GTM supported by webinars, social media, email, and community volunteer events.
