Early Years Toolbox

Dusseldorp Forum partnered with Our Place and Early Start (University of Wollongong) to develop tools for Early Learning educators to measure children’s cognitive, self-regulatory, language, numeracy and social development.

Each measure is a brief, engaging, game-like assessment that has been developed for the iPad. They are already in use across the Our Place sites and available for early educators everywhere. Check them out now.
