The formative evaluation of the first year's implementation of the Enrichment Kindergarten program of the Des Moines, Iowa Independent Community School District involved 12 half-day enrichment sessions at six schools. Approximately 278 kindergarten students were served. Results of the evaluation indicated that over 96 percent of the budgeted amount of $165,000 was used. Students were screened for placement on a battery of tests including the Waupun Strategies in Early Childhood Education and a teacher evaluation form. A parent checklist was administered, as well as pre- and post-tests of the Metropolitan Readiness Tests and the Test for Ready Steps. Parent and teacher follow-up questionnaires were also administered. Classroom observation indentified factors affecting curriculum implementation, such as a higher student/teacher ratio and increased need for classroom management. Although teachers made extraordinary efforts to communicate with parents, some dissatisfaction was noted. Results suggested that although the program had an impact on social and emotional development, the academic impact was less clear. Suggestions for curriculum planning and testing were made. Appendices include lists of behavioral educational objectives; Strategies in Early Childhood Education Sequence of Performance Objectives; Teacher Evaluation Form; Parent Checklist; Observation Checklist; Teacher Follow-Up Questionnaire; and Parent Follow-Up Questionnaire.
