Since 1969
Making Learning Fun and Inspiring
At Roylco, we don’t see learning as a chore—We think learning should be fun and inspiring for children and educators alike! Our goal is to empower educators with accessible, practical, and cost-effective products and content that take education from ordinary to extraordinary.
Exceptional teachers, parents, and day care providers find that Roylco provides them with an opportunity to make learning feel like play, with supplies, toys, and activity plans that engage and captivate children of all ages, especially young learners.
Our Mission
Regardless of age, gender, race, culture, or physical or mental capability, we want to
inspire in all children an interest in learning and a creative spirit that will last a lifetime.
