About Us

Stan Houston has experience in music, science, math and the arts. As both a parent and grandparent, he believes that each of these are critically important for children, and they strive to incorporate each into their product lines. 

Stan has a wealth of career experiences from which to draw his inspiration, including: 14 years in the Coast Guard, studied music at Cal State Hayward, and even owned his own restaurant. As an inventor and manufacturer for 30 years, Stan's background as a plastics engineer gives him a unique perspective on business, product quality & value, and customer service. If that's not enough, he has also been teaching guitar and ukulele lessons for over 20 years, providing the inspiration for both children and adults to embed music as part of their lives. 

 As a parent and educator Lisa strives to encourage the use of hands-on educational toys that inspire and promote right-side brain development. Lisa has years of teaching experience through the homeschooling organizations Visions and Pathways.  Specializing in History, Lisa taught various grade levels and included visual interpretation through art and crafts.

Lisa started her career at Mozart Einstein and Me in 2016 and has grown into the position of managing its original store in Benicia. 

As one of the buyers at Mozart, she is constantly recommending products that are appropriate and interesting to all ages and those with special needs.

If you ask her the favorite part of her job she’ll smile broadly and say “customer service”.  Lisa inspired us all to offer free gift wrapping to all customers and goes out of her way to find special products for those in need whether it is in our stores or other stores.
