Buy One. Give One.

San Francisco, CA, June 16, 2010 - Juno Baby, Inc., one of the country's most innovative children's media companies bringing products that encourage music appreciation in young children, has announced a partnership with the National Head Start Association. With the strong belief that beautiful music enriches lives, and the importance of instilling the value of giving to those less fortunate, Juno Baby has partnered with the National Head Start Association (NHSA.org) with the mission to bring beautiful, orchestral music to the entire Head Start population - 1 million children under the age of 5.

Juno Baby's Emmy Award-winning DVDs are part of a larger line of children's products, which seek to inspire a lifelong love of music in children from 12 months to five years of age. Founder, mom and composer Belinda Takahashi's original music is performed by live orchestral musicians and paired with a cast of endearing puppet characters created and performed by the talented hands behind some of your favorite Muppet and Sesame Street characters*. Juno Baby is helping to inspire and nurture the minds of children through beautiful music. Juno Baby's motto is 'Buy One. Give One.' Through its One for All Program for every Juno Baby product sold, the company donates a very special music education DVD to a Head Start child.

The National Head Start Association is a not-for-profit membership organization dedicated to meeting the needs of Head Start children and their families. It represents more than 1 million children, 200,000 staff and 2,600 Head Start programs in the United States. The Association provides support for the entire Head Start community by advocating for policies that strengthen services to Head Start children and their families, by providing training and professional development to Head Start staff and by developing and disseminating research, information, and resources that enrich Head Start program delivery.

"The Juno Company formed this partnership because it is integral to the company to give back to those children who wouldn't otherwise be able to experience beautiful music," said The Juno Company CEO, Barrett Cohn. "We also hope to set an example not only for our industry as a company that believes in doing well by doing good, but to also provide parents with a starting point where they can inspire the gift of giving in their own children."

"The National Head Start Association is pleased to partner with The Juno Company and its One for All Program," says Yasmina Vinci, National Director Head Start Association. "This partnership perfectly reflects Head Start philosophy of having relationships that share resources to opportunities for young children regardless of their situation at birth."
