Cognitive ToyBox at the Young Child Expo Covid-19 Response Conference

Cognitive ToyBox was one of the eleven solutions showcased at the Young Child Expo Covid-19 Response Conference on May 5, 2020. School districts and government funded Ed tech developers shared tactics, technology and resources to support the youngest learners during Covid-19.
​
Tammy Kwan of Cognitive ToyBox and Lorri Hope of Child Care Aware of Eastern Washington, co-presented the first lightning talk. They shared how Cognitive ToyBox is facilitating family and teacher engagement through its game-based assessments.

​A few highlights from the talk: 

Tammy Kwan, co-founder of Cognitive ToyBox shared:

• “Cognitive ToyBox at Home is helping programs to consolidate resources so that teachers don’t have to send parents to three different places for support.”
• “Programs are using Cognitive ToyBox at Home to get a head start in identifying children who may need additional support during the summer instruction period.”

Lorri Hope, an early childhood educator for over 25+ years and a QRIS Coach for the state of Washington shared:

• “Programs and teachers love how user-friendly Cognitive ToyBox is. It’s engaging; it’s easy to use; it streamlines several tasks; and it’s fun!”
• “Parents are children’s most important teachers...I love the immediate feedback that parents receive with strength-based celebrations of their child’s developing skills.”

Cognitive ToyBox at Home is free until the end of the school year for educators affected by Covid-19. Sign up for an account here.
