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.
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.
- asq, age windowed prompts, family friendly summary
- handoff, one minute end of day note to families
- dual language learners, spanish-mirrored family writing
- for family child care, the page to share with providers
- for administrators, data handling and what the program signs
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.
- california state preschool, many first 5 seats are inside cspp classrooms
- family child care, for the fcc providers first 5 funds
- county offices of education, the sibling coordinator in most ca counties
- program directors and administrators, the data handling page for a grantee
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.
