The Preschool Profile is a guide that preschool teachers can use to measure the literacy and numeracy awareness and understanding of Indigenous and non-Indigenous preschool children and make informed judgements on their ability to move onto school in these particular areas.
Although the Preschool Profile was designed for IESIP preschool providers to report the literacy and numeracy outcomes of their Indigenous students, the Profile is culturally inclusive and so can be used to monitor and report on non-Indigenous students.
