Family Child Care Curriculum Developmental Assessment 10 Pack

Use this assessment tool to record your observations and notes about a child’s development and to track the child’s progress. The assessment is organized by age and developmental domains, from birth through age five (prekindergarten). The milestones in this assessment are the same as the milestones in Redleaf Press’s Family Child Care Curriculum: Teaching through Quality Care. Knowing a child’s current developmental level will help you choose activities in the curriculum that support the child in mastering the next milestone or developmental goal. This assessment record can be used to help organize and document your observations so that you can share them with families. Sold in a pack of ten, you can use one booklet for each child in your home-based family child care (daycare) program.

Specifically developed for family child care providers, this booklet aids caregivers to observe and record a child's growth and development.
