Charmspring
Charmspring is a developmental children’s brand with a mission to bring more harmony, connection, and fun to family life by giving kids an understanding of their world and routine. Our hero product is the Springboard, an illustration-based visual routine board that helps children know what’s coming next and develop age-appropriate skills in language development, literacy, math, and executive functioning. It was built to give children a sense of routine and ownership of their experiences and choices, helping them to feel empowered, capable and competent. Charmspring’s Co-Founders are Steph Korey Goodwin and Jennie Monness, who are moms to four kids 6-and-under and were in search of a product to help their children make sense of their day and understand their routine. When they couldn’t find anything, they created DIY versions out of construction paper, crayons, and photos. They soon realized other parents were in search of a similar product, and Charmspring was born in September 2024.
