notes that travel with the child
the family handoff page produces a short, plain-language summary a family can carry to the next site, in english and in spanish side by side. it is the same shape whether the child has been in the classroom for two weeks or four months.
the conference write up holds what a receiving teacher actually needs: how the child settles, which routines are working, what the family asked the last teacher to know.
bilingual by default
handoff notes and conference summaries render in english and spanish side by side without a separate workflow. the dll page carries language-of-the-home prompts for classrooms where most families speak spanish at home.
asq-3 and asq:se-2 prompts are loaded by age window so a teacher can run a screener on a child who arrived mid-cycle without flipping through the manual.
what this is not
tiny signals is not a head start data system. it does not replace childplus, copa, or the grantee's reporting tool. it does not generate the parf or the prism evidence.
it is the writing helper those systems do not touch: the calm handoff to the next site, the conference write up shaped in the teacher's voice and rendered in the family's language, the short note that helps a receiving teacher start strong on day one.
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
- handoff, bilingual end of day note to families
- dll, language-of-the-home prompts
- write up, conference write up, in the teacher's voice
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.
- head start, same funder, non-mobile classrooms
- aian head start, respectful writing defaults
- early head start ccp, infant and toddler side
- california state preschool, seasonal families often move between mshs and cspp
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.
