At Knowledge Crates, our mission is to make learning fun, easy, and meaningful for families.

We believe in creating hands-on, educational experiences that spark curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning in children. We are committed to using high-quality materials in every crate, ensuring families receive activities that are engaging, durable, and thoughtfully designed. We know how valuable your time and money are, which is why we provide everything you need in one convenient box—saving you time, reducing stress, and delivering exceptional value.

Our goal is to inspire families to connect, explore, and discover together through screen-free, ready-to-go activities. With Knowledge Crates, you’re not just buying a product—you’re investing in your child’s growth, creativity, and the joy of learning.

Hi, I’m Jolene! (Yes, like the song!) I’m the owner of Knowledge Crates and a mom who’s been in your shoes. Years ago, I started with no clue how to nurture my son’s imagination, but with my mom’s help, I earned a degree in Elementary & Special Education and built a top children’s center in our community. During the pandemic, we saw families struggling to keep kids engaged home and that’s when Knowledge Crates was born! My team and I took 20+ years of experience and created fun, stress-free learning kits delivered right to your door. We’re here to help spark imaginations and make parenting a little easier. ❤️ Jolene

Danica Conigliaro planner and picker for knowledge crates

Danica

Hi everyone! I'm the one who picks all the cool things that come in your crates! I have been working with young children for the past 18 years and from the beginning had my hands in the creation of curriculums! When I am not planning, my time is spent with my husband Nick and our daughter Sophia (who always seems to steal the spotlight on our socials!)

Petar

Hey, I'm Pete! I'm the guy who makes sure all your packages get shipped! Jolene and Danica are my older sisters and even as adults they are still bossing me around! My daughter Catalina, and I love spending time gardening, gaming and exploring history! We're getting ready to kick off our fourth year of homeschooling as she heads into the 5th grade!

Joelle

Hi I’m Joelle! I’m the one who helps out with the pretty part of Knowledge Crates. I paint, assemble, and test some of the products you see on our socials. When I’m not working (being covered in paint and glitter) I can be found reading, playing guitar, and watching tv.

Hiya! I'm the one who helps to plan curriculum units and test-runs activities at home with my kids. I'm a K-12 teacher turned homeschool mom to littles in kindergarten and third-grade. We love theme-based learning, which is why I'm so lucky to work for Knowledge Crates and use all of the cross-curricular units in our homeschool!
