for first 5 county commissions

for first 5 commissions and funded programs

first 5 funded work, preschool sites, family child care providers, home visitors, often asks for evidence of family communication that is warm, consistent, and bilingual. tiny signals is a writing helper the teachers and providers in those programs can open on any device, with no install and no per-seat license.

for the program officer funding early learning across a county, and for the providers spending those dollars.

the first 5 fit

first 5 grants frequently call for documented family engagement, asq screening completion, and dual language learner support. those are exactly the parts of the day that take a teacher's evening, and exactly the parts tiny signals is built around.

the site covers asq-3 and asq:se-2 with age-windowed prompts, a one minute daily family handoff, a conference write up that a teacher can finish in fifteen minutes, and a spanish mirror for family-facing writing.

for the family child care providers in the network

first 5 county networks often include family child care providers running mixed-age, single-teacher homes. tiny signals works the same on that schedule: one device, one teacher, the class list is optional.

the family child care audience page covers that day directly. share that link to providers in the network.

what it is not

not a grant reporting system, not an outcomes measurement platform, not a replacement for drdptech or for a county data warehouse. it does not score children and it does not export evidence to a funder.

it is the writing helper that sits next to whatever the funded program already uses for reporting.

how first 5 usually shares it

a single link in a grantee newsletter or a quarterly provider meeting reaches the teachers and providers directly. there is no county contract to sign before a classroom or a family child care home can try it for a week.

for a first 5 commission that wants to evaluate it first, the honest pilot is one site for one week on whatever those teachers would normally write that week.

what teachers actually open

these are the pages a classroom teacher reaches for on a normal week. nothing here is behind a paywall, a sales call, or a demo request.

programs that share this stack

the same writing helpers fit these classrooms too. if the page you are on is not quite the room, one of these might be.

forward this to a teacher

the fastest way to know if tiny signals fits a classroom is to put it in the hands of the teacher in that classroom. the button below opens a blank email with a short note already written, so it takes one click to send.
