Ready for school

since 1970

For 50 years we have helped children achieve school readiness in all areas of academic and social learning using the renowned HighScope approach and curriculum. We help early educators take the learning process beyond traditional academic subjects to foster child creativity, confidence, and independence to prepare children for success in school and in life. This approach to early education has been proven to achieve powerful, positive results.

Play based, child centered, and grounded in research: Take a closer look at how HighScope can help you make sure that every child enters school ready and eager to learn.
