HighScope Educational Research Foundation

The HighScope Educational Research Foundation is an organization dedicated to improving early childhood education through research, training, and curriculum development. It is best known for creating the HighScope Approach, a learning framework that emphasizes active, engaging, and hands-on experiences for children to develop critical thinking and social skills. Founded in 1970, the foundation collaborates with educators and policymakers to promote high-quality, evidence-based practices that support children's learning and development from preschool through early elementary years. Its goal is to foster lifelong learning and competence by nurturing children's natural curiosity and problem-solving abilities.
