Formosan Magazine Press, Inc. has foreseen such trend and has taken the idea of "prepare your children for the future" as our responsibility since 2000. It is our hope that all the children in Taiwan will be able to own a richer and freer creativity as well as the strongest surviving ability through reading when they were little.

The sales representatives from FMP and the "FMP Family" bimonthly deliver the latest educational ideas and reading information for young children to the readers, and keep contact with them on the issues of children raising. We believe this is the best way to rapidly enhance the children's capability and to reduce the educational distinction between the city and the country.
