For children ages 3-5 years, daily information of classroom lessons and activities are posted on the parent information board along with important reminders or notes from teachers. Children also have portfolios in which their work, classroom newsletters, and office letters are sent home.
Our preschool children between the ages of 3 and 5 are assessed using the Creative Curriculum Developmental Continuum three times per year. After each round of assessments are complete, parents receive copies of the assessments and have the opportunity to sign-up for parent/teacher conferences. At the last assessment of the year, parents also receive their child's portfolio from the previous year.
In addition to these, the Ages & Stages Questionnaires are completed at regular intervals and the information from each preschool child is gathered, scored, and shared with the parents. Referrals are made on an as needed basis. We utilize the ASQ Database to assist us with the scoring of the screenings and to generate letters to the parents of each preschool child that fully explain the results.
