Assessment

Preschool children are assessed three times each year using the CreativeCurriculum.net, an online curriculum-based system that integrates ongoing assessment of children's development with reporting, program planning, and parent communication tools. It is linked with The Creative Curriculum® for Preschool, a comprehensive early childhood educational system that has been shown to promote the cognitive, language, social/emotional, and physical development of young children. The assessment system is based on a valid and reliable instrument, The Creative Curriculum Developmental Continuum for Ages 3-5. The instrument meets all of the assessment standards of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the National Association of State Early Childhood Specialists in State Departments of Education (NASECS/SDE) and has adequate assessment properties. It is an excellent tool for program planning and for analyzing and documenting child progress. It also meets federal and state reporting requirements, such as those of Head Start and the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP).
