[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are one of the families who have accepted a PK3 spot at LT. I got a call from an LT child development 'something' today and was asked a ton of detailed questions (i.e. can your child string 4 words in a sentence, can he put on his jacket, can he string 'pasta' on a string, etc) all about my 3yo development in terms of language, social skills, motor skills, etc.

They said they ask the same Qs of all parents to have an idea of the level of the incoming 'class' and prepare accordingly. Also they will have time set aside to help you fill in the application if you need help. It seems like they are ready to deal with parents who know what they are doing as well with parents who don't.

I was pleased with the call, and happy with my choice for PK3. For later years, time will tell.[/quote]

Our school has a group playdate where the ECE team observes the students and has about 5 minutes of one-on-one time with each in order to assess development and plan for classroom assignment.  [/quote]

That is part of a universal ECE screening process for all DCPS through Early Stages.  You were called by the representative for LT (this person has other schools on their case load).  It is called the ASQ and the purpose is to flag any developmental areas that may raise concern.  The people who called are from Walker Jones where the office of Early Stages is Located.[/quote]

What PP said -- I had that same conversation with the early stages person.

But I'll add that when we went into LT to meet with the teacher before our daughter started PS3 (she's in K there now), the teacher had me go through that same set of questions while she showed our daughter around her new classroom. So I know at least one ECE teacher at LT actively seeks that information about her students.[/quote]
