Teaching Strategies' Efforts Across the United States

Across the United States, professionals use The Creative Curriculum^® to help prepare more than a million young children for success in school and life. We are proud to say that our materials are used in every state and in public pre-K, nonprofit, faith-based, and other private programs as well as all early childhood programs run by the military. Teachers and administrators use our curriculum and assessment resources and our professional development services to enhance the programs they offer young children and their families. Additionally, we're delighted that The Creative Curriculum^® for Preschool is used by more than 50 percent of Head Start classrooms across the country.

Teaching Strategies is both proud and humbled to support early childhood professionals who are working with our youngest children, especially children who are at-risk for school failure. We recognize our role in ensuring that all children receive high-quality learning experiences that begin at birth and continue until adulthood. Understanding the broad social responsibility of helping to educate America's youngest children, Teaching Strategies is committed to advocating at the federal, state, and local levels for high-quality early childhood education. Through on going relationships with individuals in the field, and related endeavors, we support policies and practices designed to create a well-funded, high-quality system of early childhood education. To learn more about Teaching Strategies' efforts to ensure ongoing public investment in high-quality early childhood education, please see our Public Policy page.

Teaching Strategies furthers its mission by convening discussions with early childhood professionals at all levels, visiting programs, and contributing to local and national conferences. While these activities allow us to share our experience, they also enable us to learn from those who are living and breathing the realities of setting up classrooms, teaching children, partnering with families, and working in other ways to support the education of young children. In addition to supporting teachers, family childcare providers, and program directors, we recognize the importance of supporting those who use their classroom expertise as advocates and leaders. We provide fora for early childhood organizations, foundations, and research institutions to discuss early childhood issues and learn from each other's work. We believe that we can better meet the needs of children through collaborative partnerships. The field can continue to grow in a positive way only through strong relationships, on going dialogue, and genuine respect for the work we all do. This belief guides our daily work and strengthens our community and grassroots involvement. 

We support our community by providing high-quality resources and by conducting research that will help improve the education of children in the future. To learn more about our work in the community, please see the Community Efforts page.
