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, and ESGI. 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 screenings (ASQ) and professional progress monitoring (LAP & ESGI) are included in your enrollment at Creative Minds.
No. Our system is designed to support children from birth through 72 months. We don’t use high-pressure “testing.” Instead, we use natural observation to track milestones like motor skills and language as they happen during play.
We believe in total transparency. You will receive professional, easy-to-read reports and “Progress Profiles” throughout the year. For our older students, we also provide personalized flashcards and parent letters to make learning at home fun and simple.
While a 10-minute ASQ screener gives us a quick “snapshot” of health, the Online LAP and ESGI provide the full story. By combining your input with our daily professional observations, we ensure every strength is celebrated and every goal is met.
