Evaluations are the first step in getting your child to learn and progress in school. Evaluations tell you and the teachers what your child needs to learn and more importantly, how they learn. At Les Petits Cherubs we use three major assessment tools: Ages and Stages, The Pearson Ounce Scale Child Development Tool and Work Sampling.

Ages and Stages Questionnaires are designed to identify children who are in need of further evaluation and those that are developing typically. The experts behind ASQ have made dozens of enhancements to help identify delays as early as possible with their evaluation and assessment system. Ages and Stages is a Parent Questionnaire that you are asked to complete within the first 45 days of your child’s enrollment and then again every September.

The Pearson Ounce Scale Child Development Tool offers guidelines for observing and interpreting growth and development from Birth to 42 months. It has evaluation methods that focus on six major areas of development including: Understanding and Communicating, Exploration and Problem Solving, Movement and Coordination, Feelings about Self, Relationships with Other Children, and Personal Connections.

The Work Sampling System is a tool used to track development for children ages three years of age through Kindergarten. Work Sampling is designed to help classroom teachers document and evaluate children's skills, knowledge, behaviors and accomplishments across a wide variety of curriculum areas. Each curriculum area is observed on multiple occasions and in different settings in order to enhance teaching and learning. This also helps to keep track of each child's individual achievements. Children are observed in our warm and loving classrooms which provide age appropriate activities that challenge and stimulate at the same time. Children’s progress is recorded three times a year with a Developmental Checklist, a portfolio collection, and a summary report.
