Screenings & Curriculum

Carousel Academy  performs several screenings throughout the school year to ensure we are encouraging steady progress in all students.  These are merely tools to help us shift instruction if needed.  

Ages & Stages  (ASQ-3 & ASQ:SE-2) are completed by the parent(s)/guardian of the child.  This will need to be completed within the first two weeks of school.  

Please complete the Screening here: ASQ-3 & ASQ:SE-2

STAR will be completed twice throughout the school year to measure progress and growth.  It is an iPad based assessment that the child completes independently while being monitored by a staff member.  

Our progress monitoring screenings are Brigance screening and NYS Common Core Standards.  We also align our progress report directly with NYS Prekindergarten Foundations for the Common Core Standards.    Progress Reports and Progress Monitoring will be completed three times a year.  

Here at Carousel we are always looking for the best ways to serve our community and the most developmentally appropriate curriculum available to our students.  

We are currently using the following curriculums: 

SECOND STEP- Social & Emotional learning 

FUNdations- Early Literacy 

Engage NY- Common Core Math
