The HighScope program promotes the development of skills essential for success in school and life through its active learning experiences that foster children’s all-round development. Learning takes place through a balanced daily schedule, which includes extended periods of child-initiated play (intentional free play through the plan-do-review sequence) and brief periods of adult-initiated activities. Research results show that children who participate in the HighScope program experience significant, lifelong benefits in countless ways.

As a HighScope certified educator, you are recognized as a specialized practitioner with a high level of professionalism and the ability to achieve superior results with the children in your care.
