Did you know that all students at NCCS St. Catherine Campus are assessed using the Ohio Early Learning Assessment?   The assessment is designed to aid teachers in determining where children are in their readiness for kindergarten. The Early Learning Assessment provides information for teachers about children from early preschool to kindergarten.  This Assessment carries over into Kindergarten.  It provides the Kindergarten teacher with information on the development of your child.


  • he Early Learning Assessment measures your child's knowledge, skills and behaviors in seven areas: Social Foundations, Language and Literacy, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Physical Well-being and Motor Development, and Fine Arts. 
  • The Early Learning Assessment is not a test. Your child will not have to complete questions or provide test answers. Teachers use the information they collect to plan activities and opportunities that will support the continued growth of each individual child.  
  •     Teachers collect evidence through their everyday interactions that occur during activities with      your child.
  •      When the assessment is complete, teachers will have information to share with you about          how your child is developing across the essential areas of school readiness.
  •      The information will help you and your child's teachers work as partners to plan activities that      ensure your child starts kindergarten ready to learn.
