Preschool Teacher Assessment Form

Comprehensive Preschool Teacher Evaluation Made Simple

Assessing early childhood educators requires a thoughtful approach that captures the unique aspects of preschool teaching—from fostering developmental milestones to maintaining safe, nurturing environments. This Preschool Teacher Assessment Form provides education administrators, directors, and coordinators with a structured framework to evaluate teacher performance across all critical areas of early childhood education.

What makes this template effective

Unlike generic employee reviews, this form is specifically designed for the preschool setting. It evaluates teachers on their ability to facilitate play-based learning, track developmental milestones, maintain strong parent communication, and uphold essential safety protocols. The assessment covers both observational metrics and measurable outcomes, giving you a complete picture of teacher effectiveness.

The form includes sections for classroom management, curriculum delivery, child engagement strategies, and professional development—all tailored to the unique needs of early childhood education. Rating scales and open-ended questions work together to capture both quantitative data and qualitative insights.

How Paperform streamlines teacher evaluations

With Paperform's intuitive form builder, you can customize this template to match your preschool's specific evaluation criteria, add your branding, and even embed it directly on your internal staff portal. The doc-style editor makes it easy to adjust rating scales, add supplementary questions, or include school-specific competencies.

Conditional logic lets you create dynamic assessments—for example, showing follow-up questions only when areas of concern are flagged. This keeps evaluations focused and relevant without overwhelming evaluators with unnecessary questions.

After submission, responses are automatically organized in your Paperform dashboard with visual charts showing performance trends across your teaching team. You can export data to share with HR systems, or use Stepper to automatically trigger follow-up actions like scheduling development meetings, sending acknowledgment emails to teachers, or creating professional improvement plans.

For preschools and childcare centers that need teacher evaluations to feed into broader accreditation or compliance workflows, Paperform integrates seamlessly with tools like Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack, and HR platforms—ensuring assessment data flows exactly where it needs to go.

Whether you're conducting annual reviews, mid-year check-ins, or peer observations, this template helps early childhood education leaders gather meaningful feedback that supports teacher growth and ultimately benefits the children in your care.
