Childcare Recommendation for Implementation

The BRIGANCE Early Childhood Screens III is recommended to be used as a readiness screener for all children 0–35 months, 3–5 years, and in Grades K and 1 to determine areas of strength and areas of improvement.

All 4-year-old children enrolled in a childcare center, Head Start center, and public school pre-kindergarten program participating in a state-funded early learning collaborative shall be screened using the BRIGANCE Early Childhood Screens III assessment.

Online Management System (OMS)

The Screens III OMS is an online system for managing children’s screening data. An easy-to-use graphical interface allows educators to access and review reports for individuals, classes, schools, and districts. The OMS generates a Screening Summary Report for each child who compares their raw score to the cutoff scores for delays and giftedness and provides normative scores for each domain assessed. The Group Screening Summary Report aggregates this information for analyzing data across groups.
