Brief Description: This evaluation study was a collaborative effort between the Early Childhood Research Center and Metro United Way, with cooperation from Community Coordinated Child Care, to document the effects of the Excellence Academy on preschool classroom teachers, physical environments, and curriculum. The Classroom Physical Environment Protocol (CPEP) was developed as a reflective tool for creating a Reggio-influenced classroom.
