The Founders

Built by Educators. Built by Entrepreneurs. Built Together.

Maggie Magoo's® was founded by Daniel and Sheryl Gittings-Randall, a husband-and-wife team married more than 30 years, who have spent decades building businesses, leading teams, and serving families through education and enrichment. The business was built through real-world operational experience over the past decade serving families and schools successfully.
