Its products, including the most widely used curriculum and assessment solutions, The Creative Curriculum and GOLD, reach over 4 million children each year in more than 80 countries around the world. A trusted partner and advocate for the early education community for 45 years, today Teaching Strategies connects teachers, children and families to inspired teaching and learning experiences, insightful data, stronger family partnerships, and robust professional learning through SmartTeach(TM), the leading early learning platform. The Early Childhood Education sector continues to be one of the fastest growing segments of the Education market. With bi-partisan support and an increasing understanding of the positive impact that whole child development can have on academic and life success, the sector is expected to continue steady growth in the public and private sectors in the coming years worldwide. There are few sectors where the intersection of for-profit and for-good combine so powerfully. The opportunity to create downstream lasting impact on human lives is profound: 80% of the human brain is formed by the age of 3 and providing the right developmental experiences from birth to age 5 has an outsized effect on what happens in school and, more importantly, in life. By 3rd grade, developmental deficits are very difficult to remediate and too often seed indelible effects. There is no way to move the needle on human potential more drastically than improving the quality and availability of effective early childhood learning. Teaching Strategies has been leading the market in bringing such needed high quality and effective early childhood learning through its integrated ecosystem of connected solutions.
