Communication Skills and General Knowledge/Considerations/Next Steps

As with any piece of research, the previous results and discussions should be
reviewed with the following considerations in mind:

• The EDI was completed for all children who attend schools from one of
  the four publicly funded school boards. Thus, senior kindergarten
  children who attended private schools or who are home schooled are not included in the results.

• The EDI is completed by senior kindergarten teachers and as such the
  section on children’s pre-kindergarten experiences (i.e., early intervention
  programs, non-parental child care arrangements, early years
  programming, etc.) is often incomplete and as such many items cannot bereported on at this time
  
• The information/data provided in this report should not be used on it’s
  own for program planning purposes rather it should be used in
  conjunction with other available community data. For example,
  community services inventory, census data, etc.
