the screeners head start already runs
asq-3 prompts loaded by age window, from 2 months through 60 months, with a short summary a teacher can hand to a family at pickup. asq:se-2 for the social-emotional side. deca for strengths language when a family conference needs more than a score.
nothing has to be re-typed into the head start enterprise system. tiny signals is the writing helper, the part the screener export does not give back.
early head start, infants and toddlers
the asq age windows cover infant and toddler classrooms. the daily handoff, the incident log, and the family write up are the same calm shape whether the child is six months or three years.
what this is not
tiny signals is not a head start data system. it does not replace childplus, copa, or your grantee's reporting tool. it does not generate the parf or the prism evidence. those stay where they live.
it is the writing a teacher does that no system handles well: the conference summary, the calm incident note, the end of day message to a family that does not read english fluently.
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
- assessment, asq:se-2 and deca prompts
- write up, conference and home visit notes
- handoff, one minute end of day note to families
- incident, calm, structured, ready for a conversation
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.
- early head start child care partnerships, infant and toddler side of the same funder
- migrant and seasonal head start, mobility and bilingual handoffs
- aian head start, respectful writing, no labels on the child
- family child care, for the fcc side of a head start partnership
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.
