• Assessment

The focus for classroom planning is to provide a developmentally appropriate educational program for children. Assessment, with family input, guides teachers in planning/implementing activities, adjusting program/classroom practices and environment, and supporting individualized learning/interest/needs.

Assessment results can also be valuable to determine if other services could benefit a child/family because assessment helps describe the developmental progress and learning of children.

All children receive development screening within three months of program entry. The screening instruments meet professional standards for standardization, reliability, and validity, have normative scores available on a population relevant for the child being screened, and assess the child’s health status and their sensory, language, cognitive, gross-motor, fine-motor, and social-emotional development.

If formal assessments are use, they are combined with informal methods, such as observation, checklists, and work sampling. Written progress reports are to be completed 3 times a year (Nov., Feb., & May) and sent to parents with parent/teacher conferences being offered in the fall and spring of each year. Verbal progress is given at least once during the summer months.
