As an early childhood educator, your choice of curriculum and assessment is one of the most difficult decisions you’ll make. After all, these resources will help build the foundation that will determine a child’s success in school now, through the transition to kindergarten, and later in life.
Explore how The Creative Curriculum and GOLD help children to develop curiosity, confidence, creativity, and lifelong critical skills, and how we at Teaching Strategies can help you ensure your teachers have the resources and skills necessary to make lasting change in your program.
At Teaching Strategies, we know a whole-child approach to teaching and learning is the most developmentally appropriate way to educate children.
Why? Because it supports and nurtures all areas of children’s development and learning—from social–emotional and cognitive development to literacy, math, and science learning—and it facilitates the transition from preschool to kindergarten.
Every child is unique, so, it’s no surprise that a “one size fits all” approach to learning isn’t developmentally appropriate, especially in kindergarten.
Teachers can use the GOLD Kindergarten Entry Assessment Survey during the busy first weeks of school to compare incoming students’ knowledge, skills, and abilities with widely held expectations for kindergarten entry, giving them a comprehensive picture of each student’s development and learning in important areas.

Teaching Strategies’ comprehensive,
research-based approach is an intentional
plan for success.
Every component is grounded in child development theory and scientific research but we take it one step further. Our resources are not only research-based, they’re research-proven—validated in the field and shown to be effective by extensive research conducted by independent researchers. From multi-year efficacy studies to peer-reviewed journal articles and research foundation papers, our vast body of research proves that you can trust our products to help you deliver positive outcomes for all children.
The 38 research-based objectives are at the heart of everything we do and they define the path teachers take with the children in their classroom.
They inform every aspect of teaching, include predictors of school success, and are aligned with state early learning guidelines. Our objectives for development and learning extends from birth through third grade. They enable teachers to see children’s development and learning along a progression that spans the whole of the early childhood years.
The objectives cover 10 areas of development and learning, including broad developmental areas, content areas, and English language acquisition. Many objectives also include dimensions that guide teachers’ thinking about various aspects of that objective and help clarify what it addresses.
The Criteria Report documents the research that went into the development of the 38 objectives. It includes an overview and rationale for inclusion of each of the development and learning areas.
Research shows that The Creative Curriculum for Preschool is effective and it promotes
