Milestone Checklists

Idea: At the beginning of each school year,  print a copy of the appropriate milestone checklist(s) for each child.  As the year progresses,  pay attention to whether each child is meeting his/her milestones and mark the checklist accordingly.

 

Milestone Checklists

• •  Give a copy of the appropriate milestone checklist(s) to each family at the beginning of the year and again before each parent-teacher conference. 

  • Encourage the parents to use the checklist regularly and asks them to fill it out and bring it to the parent-teacher conference.  

  • At each conference review the checklists with the parents and compare the school and home checklists. 

  • Encourage the parents to share them with their child’s health care provider, requesting a developmental screen if warranted.
