WHO WE ARE

WHO WE ARE

Early Learning Quick Assessments (ELQA) were designed by early childhood professionals, educators, content experts, and data analysts. This collaboration developed a user-friendly assessment with the goal of enhancing teacher effectiveness, improving child outcomes, and closing achievement gaps. 

OUR PHILOSOPHY

To provide teachers with meaningful data to inform differentiated instruction, thereby improving student and program outcomes.

WE VALUE EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATORS

Our team is committed to continually improving our assessments and professional development based on input from early childhood classroom educators, as well as current and internal research.  

WE VALUE THE DEVELOPMENT OF EARLY LEARNING

Incorporating interesting and meaningful educational activities into the daily routine is critical for young learners. Students who are actively engaged learners will acquire skills that prepare them for kindergarten and beyond.

WE VALUE TIME

ELQA is quick and easy to use. Detailed reports are available immediately after assessing and provide teachers with the necessary information to effectively plan and differentiate instruction to ensure the child's learning opportunities are purposeful and meaningful.
