SCREENING AND DEVELOPMENT RESOURCES

Developmental Screenings

Assessing children’s development and monitoring their milestones is critical for ensuring children are school ready! Developmental screenings can help parents and providers identify areas where children shine and areas that may require additional attention.


ELCPBC's Developmental Screening department administers the age-appropriate developmental screenings (ASQ-3 and ASQ-SE 2) for each child through our contracted child care providers twice a year. Providers are then responsible for communicating to parents/guardians in writing, the results of screenings. We believe that by identifying any developmental delays early on, child care providers can work together to track a child’s progress and ensure any additional services are provided if necessary.

The School Readiness program requires that all children receiving School Readiness funds be screened for their growth and development. All developmental screenings are completed online via the ASQ Online module of the Family Portal.


Early Intervention Department Team can be contacted at 1-888-620-9190.

Ages and Stages Questionnaires® Social-Emotional, 2nd Edition (ASQ-SE2)


An important area in a child’s development is the ability to regulate their emotions and manage their social interactions. The ASQ-SE2 is a screening tool which is designed to identify children 3-months through 66-months of age whose social-emotional development may require a further evaluation.


An ASQ-SE2 is completed when a concern has been expressed by either the parent or the child care provider. Simple to complete questionnaires are given to the child’s parent/guardian that address behaviors such as:


  • Self-Regulation - ability to adjust to the environment
  • Compliance - ability to follow rules and directions
  • Affect - ability to demonstrate own feelings
  • Interaction with people – ability to respond appropriately in social situations
