Recognizing the uniqueness of each child, our approach is tailored to their individual pace. We use a combination of the ASQ-3, ASQ:SE-2, Online LAP, ESGI, and the Brightwheel app. These tools work together to offer a complete picture of your child’s development by:
At Creative Minds, we utilize the “Gold Standard” of child development tools. These assessments are supported by the American Academy of Pediatrics and are the same systems used by top-tier school districts and early intervention specialists. Evidence shows that the earlier and more accurately development is tracked, the better a child can reach their full potential. By using these research-based tools, we ensure your child is not just “attending” preschool, but is actively being prepared for a successful transition to Kindergarten.

The ASQ-3 helps us provide personalized support by tracking milestones in communication, motor skills, and problem-solving. It ensures every child—from 16 months to 5 years—is on a healthy path for their specific age.

Social and emotional health is the heart of our program. This tool focuses on your child’s ability to self-regulate, build relationships, and express emotions, ensuring they feel safe and confident as they learn.
One of the significant strengths of our program lies in the collaboration between families and our school. By combining your insights with our professional assessment tools—we create a complete and accurate picture of your child’s unique needs. This team approach allows us to provide highly tailored support, ensuring that adjustments are made in real-time to celebrate strengths and address challenges. Whether we are screening for milestones or tracking academic readiness, our goal remains the same: ensuring every child is well-prepared, confident, and ready for success beyond preschool.
There is no additional cost for families. All developmental screenings (ASQ-3 & ASQ:SE-2), professional progress monitoring (Online LAP & ESGI), and ongoing documentation through Brightwheel are fully included as part of your child’s enrollment at Creative Minds.
Not at all. Our assessment system is designed to support children from birth through 72 months. We use natural observation during play, daily routines, and guided activities to track developmental milestones like motor skills, language, and social-emotional growth.
With tools like the ASQ-3, ASQ:SE-2, and Brightwheel, we’re able to monitor progress in real time and share meaningful updates with families—ensuring each child’s unique journey is supported from the very beginning.
We are committed to transparent, ongoing communication with families. You will receive professional, easy-to-read reports and Progress Profiles throughout the year. Through the Brightwheel app, we also share real-time updates, developmental observations, and milestone tracking—so you’re always in the loop.
For older children, we offer customized flashcards and parent communication letters to support meaningful learning at home and strengthen the connection between school and family.
While the ASQ-3 provides a quick developmental snapshot, the ASQ:SE-2 offers valuable insight into your child’s social-emotional growth. The Online LAP and ESGI offer deeper understanding of cognitive and academic progress, while Brightwheel ties everything together by connecting daily observations with long-term developmental goals.
This layered approach allows us to see the whole child—where they are now, how they’re growing, and how we can best support their continued success.
