Proven to Deliver Impact for Private Child Care Centers
The Creative Curriculum Implementation and Ecosystem Engagement Study (CCIEE) is an independent, randomized controlled trial (RCT) that was recently conducted by the National Institute for Early Education Research (NIEER) at Rutgers University. Consistent results were achieved across public schools and private child care centers when preschool classrooms implemented The Creative Curriculum with our GOLD assessment and professional development solutions.
Teacher Retention Rate Increased by 59%
Across schools and child care centers in both districts, the use of our integrated curriculum, assessment, and professional development ecosystem increased the teacher retention rate by 59%.
Child Growth Increased Across ALL Domains
Across programs in both districts, GOLD assessment data showed significant increases in growth data for ALL learning domains (social–emotional, language, cognitive, literacy, and mathematics).
Teacher Well-Being Increased Across Key Measures
Teachers in the treatment group reported significantly higher levels of personal accomplishment—feeling more energized, exhilarated by their work with students, and professionally effective —while also experiencing lower levels of workday exhaustion and burnout.
Curriculum Rated Engaging and Easy to Implement
In follow-up surveys, teachers were asked about The Creative Curriculum implementation and their perceptions of how it meets the needs of their students. Overwhelmingly, teachers agreed the curriculum is easy to implement (90%) and engaging for children (91%).
