The report is intended to provide specific information that will support EDI – Early Development Instrument service providers, parents, professionals, and organizations by “Early Development Instrument: A Population-based Measure identifying areas of strength and vulnerability in the population for Communities” (EDI) provides population based data about of children and youth. The data contained within this resource early child development to communities and governments so is but one piece of a more complete picture. that they can put into place programs and policies to support We must also consider our experience and personal healthy child development for all families within unique knowledge of the communities we serve to fully appreciate communities.1 The EDI is a teacher-completed checklist the challenges presented. that assesses children’s readiness to learn before they enter formal schooling (Grade one). The EDI is not an assessment The Community Profile includes 35 indicators to measure how of individual students or schools but a measure of the well children and youth are doing in various neighbourhoods outcomes of a child’s preschool experiences as they influence across the South East Region. We have provided a brief their readiness to learn at school. This refers to a child’s explanation of the indicator themes and their connection ability to meet the task demands of school, such as: playing to child and youth well-being. and working with other children, listening to the teacher, remembering and following rules, and being comfortable exploring and asking questions.

4 Five Domains Of School Readiness To Learn There are five domains of “school readiness to learn” included in the Early Development Instrument:

1. Physical health and well-being 5. Communication skills and general knowledge • gross and fine motor skills • skills to communicate needs and wants • holding a pencil in socially appropriate ways • running on the playground • symbolic use of language • motor coordination • story telling • adequate energy levels for classroom activities • age-appropriate knowledge about life and the world around them2 • independence in looking after own needs • daily living skills

2. Social knowledge and competence EDI – Multiple Challenge Index • self-control and self-confidence There are 16 sub-domains within the five major • co-operation and respect for others domains of the EDI. Each of the sub-domains (children and adults) represents a relatively homogenous aspect of • socially appropriate behavior during a child’s development. If a child scores low (below school activities the cut-off) on 9 or more of the 16 sub-domains he/she is considered to have multiple challenges. • ability to play and work with others Analysis of the distribution of the number of challenges in one or more sub-domain indicates that having scores below the cut-off in 9 or more pointed to serious problems in multiple domains. Three of the 5 domains have 4 sub-domains, 3. Emotional health/maturity one has 3, and the last one has 1. Therefore • ability to reflect before acting experiencing challenge in 9 sub-domains means • a balance between too fearful and too impulsive that they are from at least 3 of the major five developmental domains.3 • ability to deal with feelings at the age-appropriate level • empathic response to other people’s feelings EDI – Results EDI results are disseminated based on where the child lived at the time of the test and are not linked to the school or board they attended at that time. EDI is a population-based measurement tool and 4. Language and cognitive development thus results are reported by community, regardless of school or school board locations. Data in this • interest in books, reading EDI report has been grouped by neighbourhood(s) and language-related activities where sample sizes are sufficient to protect • age-appropriate reading and writing skills student, school and board confidentiality. • interest in simple math-related activities The EDI maps included in this document • ability to understand similarities and differences are colour-coded to show the percentage of vulnerable children in each neighbourhood. • ability to recite back specific pieces Red indicates a higher percentage of vulnerable of information from memory children in that neighbourhood.

Student assessment is most effective when data is interpreted in context, and examined over time to determine trends in performance. This information is provided to give us a glimpse into how well our children and youth are performing across A child’s readiness to learn can be defined in terms the South East Region. The tables reflect the average score of five domains: physical well-being and motor development; of the schools geographically located in the neighbourhood.4 emotional health and a positive approach to new experiences; social knowledge and competence; language skills, and The EQAO scores related by neighbourhood should be general knowledge and cognitive skills.

For the purpose of this report we are only using assets for a child starting school. the above measure. It is important to note that this does not capture all children in the community identified Social knowledge or social development includes all of the with special needs. skills we learn to be able to effectively interact with others. Knowledge of acceptable behaviour, respect for others, the ability to control one’s actions, to cooperate with others and to communicate in acceptable ways help the young child to integrate into the classroom and become part of the group. Two aspects of language skills are important at school entry: understanding what others say and communicating verbally in a way that is understood by others. Finally, general knowledge is important, as are cognitive skills such as the ability to organize, analyze, remember and recite specific information. As a child grows up, his or her development progresses through sequential stages for each of the domains, starting back at day one when the child is conceived. Each stage builds on the previous one in terms of the abilities learned. The domains are not mutually exclusive; development in one domain affects development in the others. 6 Much has happened in a child’s life before the first day Social Risk Index of school. All aspects of the child’s development have The model for the Social Risk Index was produced by progressed as a result of the child’s interaction with the Human Resources Development Canada in 2003, as a way surrounding environment.

A limited income creates barriers to obtaining many necessities for families, such as housing, stable employment, skills development and childcare. 7 Adequate and affordable housing is am immediate need for many families and this problem affects the safety and stability of children.

Family Economic Resource Indicators

Unemployment Rate (%) The unemployment rate for a particular group (persons aged 25 years and older) refers to the unemployed in that group, expressed as a percentage of the labour force in that group in the week prior to enumeration. Unemployed refers to persons aged 25 years and older who, excluding institutional residents, during the week prior to Census Day, were without paid or self-employed work, were available for work and had either actively looked for work in the past four weeks prior to Census Day, or were on temporary lay-off and expected to return to their job, or had definite arrangements to start a new job in four weeks or less.

The neighbourhood selection process involved reviewing maps of these communities and discussing the best way to divide the areas into relevant planning zones that would be large enough to ensure data was not suppressed, yet small enough to be relevant from a planning perspective. The South East Region’s Data Analysis Coordinators worked with the planning tables to make this determination and developed the community neighbourhoods that are outlined in this report. The purpose of these defined neighbourhoods is to allow readers of this report to take a closer look at these communities in a more detailed manner, in the context of the environments in which children, youth and their families are living.

9 The Community Profiles Report for Kingston, Frontenac, Lennox and Addington

This report: • Paints a clearer picture of the neighbourhood environments • Initiates ongoing collaborative efforts between community in which our children are growing. members, groups, and organizations involved in child development. • Serves as a planning tool for service providers to facilitate opportunities to respond to identified needs and gaps. • Serves as the catalyst in building awareness of the areas of strength and vulnerability that are relevant to the population • Is a measuring tool to track improvements in the situation of children and youth. of children over time that will help to prompt and guide further research in this area. • Stimulates community action to help children get the best possible start in life. We can all be a part of the solution.
