Cognitive ToyBox (CTB) leverages cutting edge academic research to help every child start school ready to succeed. Backed by leading academics, educators and funders, CTB offers the only hybrid observation and game-based assessment platform in the market for children birth to five years of age. CTB is a new paradigm for early childhood assessment that saves teachers time and gives them more timely and actionable data to support their students.
The company operates at the intersection between public policy, early childhood education and family support. By providing trusted and easy-to-use assessment tools, we can help the field to quantify the impact of early childhood education on child, family and economic outcomes, with the goal of improving access and quality for all children.
Early childhood education is at an inflection point: there is sufficient research on what works and there are national calls to increase access to high-quality care and education for children during their earliest years. Join us on our mission to help every child reach their full potential.
