Research & Evaluation
Research Summary
There have been several editions of the Creative Curriculum for Preschool; research on previous editions found no significant effects on oral language, print knowledge, phonological processing, or math for preschool children. No peer-reviewed efficacy research on the current edition was found in a literature review. Therefore, there is insufficient evidence to support this program at this time.
