First Steps Evaluations


Legislation requires First Steps to contract with an outside evaluator to measure its effectiveness every three years.

2006 Evaluation
The High/Scope Education Research Foundation conducted the 2006 evaluation of First Steps’ outcomes and practices. This impartial and comprehensive report not only guides us in how we can improve our services to South Carolina’s young children, but affirms us on many successes on the state and local level. Most importantly, the report clearly states that First Steps is reaching the right children and making an impact in South Carolina. For more information, click on the link below:


2003 Evaluation
In 2003, Child Trends, a national, nonpartisan research center, conducted the legislatively-required evaluation of First Steps' first three years. Calling First Steps "ambitious and innovative," the evaluation report notes that First Steps has engendered a "culture of accountability" regarding expenditures and program implementation. The Child Trends evaluation tells South Carolina that First Steps is on the right track. To read more about the First Steps evaluation, click on the reports below:
