OUR MISSIONHighScope is on a mission to close the opportunity gap through high-quality early education. OUR VISIONTo create a world where every child has the opportunity to realize their full potential, regardless of their circumstances. Because, we believe that high-quality early education has the power to change the trajectory of the world, one child at a time.WHAT WE DOAt HighScope, we believe that every child deserves a high-quality, equitable early education. This conviction for equity has been the center of our early childhood research and what we practice in the classroom. We care deeply about the people we serve. That's why we are dedicated to providing an early childhood education that supports every child and every community. We create strong instructional leaders across the country and around the world — helping programs build capacity for sustained positive outcomes and ensuring every teacher is supported and every child can thrive. HOW DO WE DO IT? We work side-by-side with teachers and programs studying classroom practice and child outcomes. Then, we bring the best of that research as evidence to support local, state, and national policies that advance the field of early childhood education. Our research defines best practices in early education and we use that knowledge to design HighScope products and services that empower early educators and ensure young children receive a high-quality education. WHY IT MATTERS Research proves that high-quality early education improves a child's chances for long-term success. Children who receive high-quality early education compared to those who do not: • Are more prepared for school• Have higher graduation rates and college attendance• Have more stable employment and higher salaries • Create more stable home environments for children• Are healthier adults• Are more civically-engagedJoin us — together we can empower educators, lift communities, and prepare children for school and for life.
