Kindergarten Parent Survey

In the spring of 2006 a Kindergarten Parent Survey (KPS) was implemented in conjunction with the Early Development Instrument (EDI). Senior Kindergarten children in all of Guelph and Wellington County and the County of Dufferin (attending English public schools and English Catholic schools) took the survey home to their parents/caregivers to complete while teachers filled out the EDI on each student in their class. The purpose was to collect information from parents on their children’s health, experiences with child care and other activities, family life, neighborhood life, and experiences with the school system. The KPS was implemented in Guelph and Wellington for the first time in 2006. The KPS was implemented again in early 2009 along with the EDI.
