We love children and believe that good education equips young people to become adults who make our communities a better place to live. Our goal is to help educators and parents with the teaching tools that lead to the best learning possible. We partner with school districts, independent schools, families and organizations to enrich learners’ educational environments from toddler through high school. We care about the disadvantaged learner and leverage our skills and corporate resources to expand every child’s personal development.

We, all of whom live in the Bellingham area, strive for the lowest product costs, while seeking to contribute to the community through our service and our gifts. We donate annually to over 40 non-profit organizations that help children and promote their education.

Launching Success opened in May 2003, but only after extensive research into the needs of educators in Whatcom County. Our area hosts a high percentage of private schools and supports a growing number of home-schooling parents in addition to our public school systems. We also have a large number of pre-schools associated with the Whatcom County Opportunity Council.

We believe strongly in life-long education. We draw heavily on our years of teaching, developing curriculum, and attending workshops, as we select products and work with our customers.
