ChildTrek Founder

ChildTrek was founded by Miebeth Bustillo-Booth, a former teacher, in 2007. She created ChildTrek to marry interests around toy safety, positive educational development, and environmental stewardship. She believed then as she does today that these principles are linked: Non-toxic, educational toys are both safe for our children and better for our planet. Learn more about "How ChildTrek Was Born."

It dedicates a section on its web site called Parents' Corner, a collection of resources where parents and caregivers can find information and helpful tips about such topics as How to Care for a Newborn, What a Toddler Needs, and How to Develop Your Child's Language Skills.
