for nys infant, toddler, and two year old teachers

for teachers in new york's birth-to-five and free-for-twos rooms

new york does not yet have a standalone universal 2-k program. the newly free seats for two year olds live inside early head start, ehs child care partnerships, and expanded child care assistance in subsidized centers and family child care homes. tiny signals is written for the teacher in those rooms.

if a specific 2-k pilot exists in a district and this page does not name it, tell the teacher who forwarded this and a dedicated page can be added.

the shape of a room that holds twos

a mixed-age infant-toddler room, a dedicated toddler classroom, or a family child care home with a two year old and an older sibling. the writing at the end of the day is short, specific, and often bilingual. tiny signals is built for that shape, not for a preschool classroom scaled down.

asq-3 and asq:se-2, in age-window language

the assessment helper picks the right age window for a two year old and produces language a family can actually read. it does not replace the asq online platform where scores are entered. it helps write the follow-up conversation.

family handoffs at pickup

one minute at pickup, english and spanish side by side by default. for a family whose home language is not spanish, the write up helper can produce a family version in that language and the teacher keeps the last look.

biting, falls, and the honest incident note

twos bite, twos fall, twos test every gate. the incident helper produces an honest, structured note that a family can read at pickup without either party leaving upset.

what stays with the teacher

class list, drafts, and observations live against the teacher's account. asq scores, licensing paperwork, and subsidy reporting stay in the systems the program already uses.

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.

  • today, the one screen a teacher checks first
  • asq write ups, age-window language for two year olds
  • handoff, one minute at pickup, in the family's language
  • incident, honest, structured, calm
  • biting, the read for the week when a toddler is biting
  • behaviors a to z, situation-first support, no labels on the child

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.
