QCS programs include age-appropriate, planned, educational activities throughout each program day that address the developmental domains contained in the California Department of Education’s Desired Results Development Profiles (DRDP).
The Desired Results Developmental Profile is a child assessment that teachers complete twice a year to measure children’s progress towards the Desired Results for Children. Teachers also use the results to plan for instruction and structure the environment, curriculum, and instructional strategies to support learning goals. Preschool teachers analyze the assessment results, plan for individuals and group instruction and continually monitor progress. Results are summarized and shared with parents during the parent-teacher conferences.
