Connecticut by the Numbers
The number of children ready for kindergarten in Norwalk, Connecticut has increased by seven percentage points over two school years, according to data in a recent case study conducted on Norwalk’s Prenatal to Three Initiative.
The increase comes as Norwalk ACTS implements a new screening tool in the homes of children across the county to track and assess their development prior to entering kindergarten. The developmental screening tool, called the Standardized Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ), allows parents and caregivers to pinpoint developmental progress in children between the ages of one month to five and a half years.
