Our Story · Est. 1996

30 years of inspiring curious minds

From one mom's living room to millions of babies worldwide. This is the story behind Baby Einstein and The Einstein Way™.

Our roots

It started with a mom and a big idea

Baby Einstein was founded in 1996 by mother and former teacher Julie Aigner-Clark, at her home in Georgia. Driven by a passion for the arts, she wanted a way to introduce the fundamentals of music, language, poetry, colours and shapes to young children.

The original video she created — featuring puppets and the scores of classical composers — won the 1997 Parenting Magazine award for Best Video of the Year, and the series that followed became synonymous with the Baby Einstein name.

Decades later, we keep that original vision at the centre of everything we do. Baby Einstein began as a teaching tool for parents — and we still believe that parents are their baby's first teachers.
