The company has operated in New England for more than twenty years and has focused primarily on the public school K-12 segment of the market. My wife and I purchased the company in May of this year and while we will continue to serve the public school K-12 market, we are interested in the “higher education” segment and the “pre-school” segment. “Higher education” in this case means private schools – primarily high schools and smaller colleges and universities.
