A general outcome measurement system designed for use in early childhood represents an alternative to current assessment practices. This article describes an application of a general outcome measurement system, Individual Growth and Development Indicators (IGDIs), with 68 preschool children attending early childhood programs in east-central Minnesota. IGDIs were administered on three occasions from January to May at four early childhood sites, with one site implementing an intervention after the second administration. Results indicated that the measures were easy to use; were efficient in administration, scoring, and data interpretation; and provided valuable information for making decisions about early childhood education and special education. Obtained rates of growth over time were similar to those for other applications of IGDIs and demonstrated some sensitivity to intervention.
