Research-proven early childhood assessment

Accurate and consistent data to inform preschool instruction

More than one-third of children who enter kindergarten lack the pre-literacy skills crucial for future success. Research shows that preparing children for kindergarten increases third grade proficiency rates, leads to higher graduation rates, and positively impacts their future outcomes.
