Missouri Assessment Scale (MAS)

The Missouri Assessment Scale (MAS) is a tool used to evaluate the performance and growth of young children in various developmental areas, such as social, emotional, and cognitive skills. It helps educators and parents understand a child's strengths and areas needing improvement. By systematically assessing children through observations and interactions, the MAS provides valuable insights that inform teaching strategies and support individual learning needs. Ultimately, the goal is to enhance early childhood education and ensure children receive the appropriate resources for their development.
