About DOC
Our products offer a
unique blend of
innovative technology
with over
30 years of experience
and research in providing
curriculum to preschool
programs across a variety
of communities and
socioeconomic
demographics.
The highest impact learning occurs through experience and discovery. Through the inquiry-based approach, children are given opportunities to make connections between prior and new knowledge through active exploration. This is the defining feature that separates our approach from those that emphasize memorization and test taking.

Our solutions empower educators and families to take active roles in their children’s educational journeys, with research-based, developmentally appropriate engagement, designed to build strong relationships and guide learning while respecting children’s innate knowledge, curiosity and creativity. All of our solutions are tailored and aligned with the early learning standards and benchmarks of the communities we serve.
