3. You will have consistent child development data by using the same assessment from birth to five.
The DRDP© is a developmental continuum from early infancy to kindergarten entry. When you assess a child beginning in Early Head Start, as they transition to Head Start, you can easily track their developmental progress using consistent domains and measures.
4. You don’t need to take any additional steps when children transition from Early Head Start to Head Start.
Never worry about syncing two systems again! Because the DRDP© is built into ChildPlus, you can track all of your Early Head Start children’s personal data, capture observations, and complete assessments all in one powerful software.
The moment a child is enrolled or transferred into your EHS, their teacher can instantly add observations for them. Never again will teachers have to wait for two different systems to sync up with each other before they can start assessing the child.
5. No more paying for archiving data – it’s always free.
ChildPlus eliminates annual archiving costs with the DRDP©. Every piece of data entered for a child, from birth to five, will be accessible the entire time the child is enrolled in your program.
All historical observations and ratings are completely free with ChildPlus! There are never any hidden fees for storing historical data for your Early Head Start children.
6. The DRDP© is compatible with any curriculum.
