BETHESDA, Md., June 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Teaching Strategies, the country's leading developer of early childhood curriculum, assessment, professional learning, and family engagement solutions, today announced The Creative Curriculum® Cloud has been named "Enhanced Curriculum Solution of the Year" by EdTech Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization recognizing the top companies and solutions in the global educational technology market.

With more than 2,250 nominations from over 18 different countries throughout the world, the EdTech Breakthrough Awards is a prestigious accolade. The awards honor excellence and recognize creativity and success in categories ranging from career readiness solutions to student success solutions.

"For forty years, Creative Curriculum® has been the trusted curriculum of choice for early childhood educators, drawing on the rich research base that shows the power of learning through play," said Teaching Strategies CEO John Olsen. "A digital, Cloud-based curriculum puts every resource a teacher needs at their fingertips, across devices--curriculum, professional learning resources, family-facing resources--so they spend less time tracking down resources and more time on personalized, developmentally appropriate learning for each child. The power of the Cloud means all the adults in a child's life -- teachers, caregivers, family -- can collaborate to build consistency in learning experiences at home and in the classroom. We're honored to be recognized as we continue to innovate on the behalf of today's educators."

The Creative Curriculum® Cloud is a research-based, whole-child curriculum that serves children from infancy through kindergarten. The widely-used product has been significantly updated since January 2020, first to help early childhood education programs navigate new learning models and distance amid the pandemic and now to increase productivity and efficiency for teachers on a daily basis in the classroom.
