SCREENINGS
As part of getting to know and understand your child , teachers complete two screenings within 45 days of starting school .
Enfield Head Start
• The Early Screening Inventory ( ESI )
• e-DECA ( Devereux Early Childhood Assessment )
PK STEAM ACADEMY
• Ages and Stages Developmental Questionnaire
• e-DECA
The DECA Preschool Program promotes resilience , the ability to bounce back from difficulty , in children ages 3 – 5 . This assessment will help us learn about the way each child gets along with others , shares how they feel , explores , and learns . Parents will also be asked to complete the assessment on their child . Having both the parent and teacher complete the assessment will provide valuable information about how your child behaves both at home and in the classroom . We will use this information to better plan for all children in the program , building on individual strengths .
