The Ages & Stages Questionnaires ®, Third Edition (ASQ-3) and the Ages & Stages Questionnaires®: Social-Emotional, Second Edition (ASQ:SE-2) are developmental screening tools that pinpoint young children's developmental progress.
Kansas Child Care Training Opportunities, Inc. (KCCTO) will host a two-hour Introduction to ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 training, 6-8 p.m., on Feb. 19, in Manhattan. This course is appropriate for all early care and education professionals in center-based and family child care settings. Visit the Cape professional development portal to register.
All accredited schools are required to partner with the families of incoming kindergarten students to complete the ASQ-3 and ASQ:SE-2 for the Kindergarten Readiness Snapshot. The updated Kindergarten Readiness Snapshot Fact Sheet for 2026-2027 is available at agesandstages.com/ks. The updated Fact Sheet includes Snapshot dates for 2026-2027, along with additional resources to support educators in partnering with families to meaningfully use Kindergarten Readiness Snapshot data. 2025-2026 participation rates are available in the KSDE Kindergarten Readiness Snapshot authenticated application, and districts now have the option to see state-level data in addition to district and building data.
