THANK YOU FOR A MOST MEMORABLE EVENING.
Celebrate Play the HighScope Way!
HighScope Educational Research Foundation held its 50th Anniversary Celebration Gala on Thursday, May 12, 2022 at the Water View Loft at Port Detroit. We would like to thank our sponsors for their ongoing support and all who attended the festivities to commemorate this five-decade milestone of elevating the field and practice of early childhood education.
At HighScope, we engage an active learning approach. Grounded in research, our play-based, child-centered curriculum focuses on children’s strengths and guides them to explore, interact, and exercise their creative imagination through purposeful play.
We look forward to your support in future milestone achievements as we continue to develop endeavors in the area of early childhood education for many decades to come.
Please stay tuned for more gala-related highlights.
