Judges whether material for children under six is developmentally plausible — what is typical at each age, why pre-K is not a thinner kindergarten, and which frameworks apply where Common Core does not. Use this to design or review pre-K material, decide whether a task is reasonable for an age, choose the right framework for a pre-K alignment claim, or push back on material that pushes school-age expectations downward.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Early childhood practice Pre-K is not grade zero. Material for three- to five-year-olds fails most often by being a smaller version of kindergarten work — the same task, fewer items, larger print — which is a different mistake from being too hard. ## There is no Common Core below kindergarten This is the first thing to establish, because the alignment claim printed on most pre-K material is either wrong or vague. What does apply: - **State early learning standards**, which exist in every state and vary substantially in structure and in what they expect at each age. - **The Head Start Early Learning Outcomes Framework**, which covers birth to five across approaches to learning, social-emotional, language and literacy, cognition, and perceptual and physical development. It is a federal work and freely usable. - **NAEYC's position on developmentally appropriate practice**, which is not a standards document at all — it is a statement of what practice should look like, and is the thing most often cited when a task is challenged. A claim of "Common Core aligned" on pre-K material is not defensible. `education:standards-alignment` covers alignment above kindergarten. …

How to install
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/early-childhood-practice@sha256:8fada5d76c2a02ccThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.dfd6fa1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
