Coming Soon: A New S&S Website, Designed for the Moments That Matter

You make it matter. We make it easier.

Across classrooms, recreation programs, and care settings, meaningful work happens every day because people like you show up to make it happen.

You create moments of learning, creativity, connection, and care. And while that work is incredibly important, it’s rarely simple.

Behind every great activity is planning. Sourcing. Budgeting. Searching. Comparing. Re-ordering. Adjusting.

That’s why we’ve been working behind the scenes on something big. This February, we’re excited to introduce a brand-new ssww.com – rebuilt from the ground up to better support the way you work.

A new look.
A smarter experience.
And a website designed to make finding the right solutions faster, easier, and more intuitive than ever.

For over a century, we’ve supported this work not just with supplies, but with thoughtfully curated kits, ready-to-use solutions, and real human support behind every order.

A Fresh Look for a New Chapter

You’ll notice it right away: the new S&S website has a refreshed, more modern look and feel.

We’ve introduced a softer, more cohesive color palette. It’s easier on the eyes, and designed to reflect who S&S is today: supportive, human, and purpose-driven.

Our logo remains the S&S you know, but you’ll see this new visual style carried across the site, our content, and future resources.

Same S&S.
A more thoughtful, modern experience.

Find What You Need Faster: Smarter Search, Filters & Navigation

One of our biggest priorities with the new website was simple:

Make it easier to find the right products.

Every day, you’re juggling planning, purchasing, and preparing, often under tight timelines. The new S&S website is designed to save you time at every step.

Here’s what’s new:

✔ Smarter search
We’ve upgraded our search technology to deliver more accurate, relevant results – so what you’re actually looking for rises to the top.

✔ Better filters (including age & grade)
Easily narrow results by what truly matters, whether that’s age group, grade level, activity type, or category – so you can get to the best options faster.

✔ Clearer, easier-to-browse categories
Our redesigned category structure makes it simpler to explore, compare, and shop without endless clicking.

✔ A more intuitive flow from discovery to checkout
From first search to final order, everything is designed to feel smoother and more natural.

Less time searching.
More time creating the moments that matter.

A More Supportive Way to Shop: By Program, Role, or Activity

The new ssww.com goes beyond traditional product categories. We’ve reorganized the site around how you actually think and work.

🔹 Shop by Program

Explore curated pathways for Education, Recreation, and Healthcare – each with dedicated pages that show how S&S supports specific program types like early childhood, PBIS, summer camp, family engagement, senior living, memory care, STEM, sports & fitness, and more.

These pages don’t just show products.
They highlight solutions, ideas, and ways our team can help you achieve your goals.

🔹 Shop by Role

Whether you’re a teacher, district leader, coach, therapist, or program director, you’ll find tailored entry points that speak to your unique needs and connect you to relevant tools, resources, and support.

🔹 Shop by Activity

Looking to jump right into products? Activity-based navigation brings you directly to shoppable categories, so you can browse and buy faster.

And no matter where you enter the site, you’ll always see products sooner, along with clear subcategories and filters to refine your search.

Discover Ready-to-Use Solutions, Not Just Supplies

S&S has always been more than a place to buy individual items.

Behind the scenes, our team has spent years building exclusive kits, curated collections, and program-ready solutions designed around the real challenges you face: engagement, behavior support, family connection, inclusive programming, and limited time.

The new ssww.com is built to make these easier to find and easier to use.

Instead of digging through pages of products, you’ll be able to discover complete solutions like:

Family Engagement resources that help schools and organizations bring families into learning experiences
Social-emotional and behavior support kits, including bullying prevention and calming solutions
Ready-made art and activity packs like this canvas painting pack, designed for group use, events, and classrooms
Curriculum-aligned and partner-supported solutions, like our Zones of Regulation® products and kits
Mobile learning environments, like our upcoming Learn & Go™ Carts that bring complete programs to you

You’ll also see when individual items are part of a larger bundle, making it easier to choose complete, coordinated solutions instead of piecing things together on your own.

Because what you’re really building isn’t a supply closet.
It’s experiences, programs, and moments that matter.

And the new site is designed to surface those solutions faster.

Easier Access to the Resources You Love

S&S customers tell us all the time how much they value our guides, downloads, calendars, and planning tools.

On the new site, Resources get their own dedicated space in the main navigation, making it easier to find:

Activity ideas
Checklists and guides
Downloadable planning tools
Seasonal and daily holiday content

All designed to help you turn ideas into impact.

And of course, you’ll still have quick access to all of our support links from contacting our team to requesting a catalog or getting shipping information.

A Greatly Improved Mobile Experience

This is a big one.

The new ssww.com is fully responsive. It automatically adjusts to your screen size for a much smoother experience on phones and tablets.

Whether you’re browsing between activities, searching on the go, or placing an order from your program site, the new mobile experience is:

Easier to navigate
Faster to browse
And far more user-friendly than our current site

Enhanced Product Pages, Built for Clarity

We’ve also redesigned our product pages to make researching and selecting items easier.

You’ll see:

Larger, clearer product images
Secondary images and videos more prominently displayed
Click-to-expand images for closer viewing
A layout that keeps important information visible as you scroll

And now, even more ways to discover helpful add-ons and time-saving solutions.

Along with accessories and recommended items, you’ll now see a new “Bundles that include this item” section. This makes it easy to discover when a product is part of a ready-made kit or solution, helping you move from a single item to a complete, program-ready collection in just a click or two.

Whether you’re looking to expand an activity, restock a supply list, or find a bundled option that saves time, these new product carousels are designed to help you build better programs with less effort.

Everything is structured to help you evaluate options quickly, spot opportunities you might otherwise miss, and purchase with confidence.

A New Blog Experience: More Helpful, More Connected

Our blog is getting a makeover too.

Along with a fresh new look, our updated blog will better connect ideas with action. You’ll see enhanced content layouts that allow us to showcase products more clearly so the tools we’re talking about are easy to find, explore, and add to your cart.

Whether it’s an activity idea, a craft tutorial, or a program guide, it will be simpler to see exactly what was used and how it supports real-world learning, creativity, and engagement.

Why We’re Doing This

This new website isn’t just about new technology or a new design.

It’s about reflecting who S&S is, and who we serve.

Since 1906, S&S has supported the people who create moments of learning, joy, connection, and growth. Our team delivers ready-to-use solutions designed to simplify planning, enrich programs, and free you to focus on what matters most.

We’re building a digital experience that matches that mission.

A site that’s easier.
More supportive.
More human.

Because behind every engaging activity, every meaningful breakthrough, and every program that brings people together, there’s someone making it happen.

You make it matter. We make it easier.
