HighScope programs get results. Research that validates the curriculum includes the internationally known HighScope Perry Preschool Project, whose results show that the HighScope model prepares preschool children for long-term success both in school and in life. These research findings are confirmed by the experiences of thousands of teachers in the US, Canada, and in many other countries who have watched their preschoolers grow as engaged and successful learners in HighScope programs.

Developmental Screening is the use of a brief procedure or instrument designed to identify, from within a large population of children, those who may need further assessment to verify developmental and/or health risks. Developmental screening is standardized and surveys abilities in broad terms: large and small muscle coordination, perception, language, cognitive development, and emotional and behavioral concerns. The Great Start Readiness Program uses the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ III and ASQSE) as the programs screening tool. The Ages and Stages Questionnaire is conducted twice a year and the results are shared with families during home visits, parent teacher conferences, as considered necessary by the teaching team, and upon parental request. Ongoing Child Assessment is a process in which the teaching staff systematically observes and record information about the child’s level of development and/or knowledge, skills, and attitudes; in order to make a determination about what has been learned, improve teaching, and support children’s progress. Honey Bee Palace Childcare Center will use the child’s progress data from the COR Advantage (COR) will be assessed three times a year to come up with daily lesson plans.
