Partnership with Daycare Centers and Preschools
Helping Children Get Ready for Big School
The KShield Partnership is primarily designed to form a collaborative partnership between Daycares, Preschools, selected primary school/centers and establishments caring for and educating children between the ages of 3 and 5.5 years of age. The partnership provides the preliminary screening and assists with placement for new children as well as identifying developmental difficulties/delays and referring for therapy services or other programs needed.
The Goal: KShield Partnership provides developmental screenings and identifies areas of developmental concerns in the early years which may affect educational and developmental growth. The program links caregivers/educators and family members to available resources provided by a team of professional therapists and or programs for addressing the identified developmental concerns.
Childcare providers now have an effective tool which identifies areas where a child may need more support. Early detection of developmental concerns is a key step in providing children and families with the services needed for academic and social success

What is KShield
Screening?
It is a simple and easy to do process which parents, child educators, caregivers, and health care providers can use for capturing a child’s strengths and weaknesses and identify children who may benefit from more intensive assessments addressing potential developmental delays.
KShield allows parents and Daycare staff to target educational activities and efforts according to each child’s individual characteristics and stage of development, improving the conditions for future academic success, health and well-being for all children screened.
