One linked system does it all for your program

 

AEPS-3 helps you strengthen school readiness for every child by tracking and supporting core skills across all areas of development. Collect the assessment data you need, run reports with just a few clicks, seamlessly link test results with teaching and intervention, and actively engage families as partners.

AEPS-3 is one of the greatest recent contributions to the field regarding assessment and intervention for young children. Not surprisingly, it is empirically sound, developmentally appropriate, and child- and family-centered.
