Early Childhood Screening and Assessment for Preschool and Beyond

The BRIGANCE Early Childhood suite consists of user-friendly early childhood screening and assessment tools based on the most current research.

Big Insights for Little Learners

Building a bright future starts with a strong foundation, and BRIGANCE Early Childhood is here to help. Through observation, interviews, and child performance, our screening and assessment inventories give educators a clear picture of each child's strengths and areas for growth across key developmental domains. Aligned with state and Common Core standards, BRIGANCE helps identify potential delays and giftedness early on, ensuring timely interventions with reliable, data-driven insights.

By connecting key insights, personalized instruction, and ongoing support, educators can confidently address each child’s unique needs, paving the way for school readiness and long-term success.

Program Features

A Complete Picture of a Child's Growth

Developmental Screening for Early Learners

The Early Childhood Screens III assess key developmental areas including physical, language, academic/cognitive, self-help, and social-emotional skills. Identify strengths and needs for young learners on their journey toward kindergarten or preschool readiness.

Ongoing Assessment

Ensure ongoing growth by monitoring progress across all early developmental domains with the criterion-referenced Inventory of Early Development III. Assessments in the IED III are commonly used following screening to get a more in-depth understanding of a child’s skill mastery.

Normative Assessment

Track development with normed scores spanning from birth to age 7 with the Inventory of Early Development III Standardized. Results from this normative testing are often used for reporting and/or determining eligibility for services.

Actionable Data

Quick and Efficient Screeners

With just 10–15 minutes per child, our Screens III offer efficient and reliable developmental screening for children from birth through age 6.

Seamless Data Entry and Management

Once screening results are recorded on the Data Sheets, information can be securely entered into the Online Management System (OMS). This data platform generates detailed reports, allowing educators to track progress and identify delays or giftedness for targeted interventions.

Easy-to-Use Parent Reports and Recommendations

The OMS also provides easy-to-print parent reports and recommended lessons, helping keep families informed and involved in their child’s development.

Free Tools for Normed Scoring

Use the free scoring tools to generate normed scores for the BRIGANCE Screens III and IED III Standardized assessments, ensuring accurate and actionable insights.

Community and Family Engagement

Inclusive Resources for Effective Family Support

Resources like the Readiness Activities and the Take-home Activity Books connect assessments to personalized instruction. Additionally, the Screens Spanish-language directions, Data Sheets, and parent reports ensure effective support for Spanish-speaking families.
