Program Assessments (CLASS®)
In 2018 and again in 2022, the Florida Legislature passed laws that require most School Readiness programs and all VPK providers to take part in a program assessment. This assessment uses the CLASS® tool, which looks at the quality of teacher-child interactions through observation. Certified observers visit classrooms to see how teachers and children interact, helping to understand the level of quality in teaching. With support and services from the Coalition, the goal is to help more early learning programs offer high-quality care to families in Palm Beach County.
