Cognitive ToyBox is a woman-run business that proposes a new paradigm for early childhood assessment: a hybrid observation and direct (game-based) platform to assess the skills and knowledge that are important for school readiness. The combination of observation-based and game-based assessment minimizes implicit teacher bias from and provides real time data to efficiently match instruction to a child’s developmental level. The tool is aligned to state early learning standards and is fully compliant with Head Start requirements on formative assessment. The company was spun out of research from NYU and in just three years of being in the market, is supporting some of the largest school districts in the country, including Los Angeles Unified and Atlanta Public Schools.

The app. is child friendly and user friendly. Web portal will be available soon to enable the ability to add/edit children/teachers/administrators, this will be helpful. Right now children can only be added on an IPAD and teachers/administrators can only be added/edited through contacting a CT rep. although the web portal should be up and ready this week to make this easier and quicker.
