Automated GOLD Developmental Milestone Alerts
Every Monday, WebRun opens Teaching Strategies GOLD, checks each child's latest checkpoint ratings against the expected range for their age band, logs anyone falling behind to a running tracker in Google Sheets, and posts the teaching team a milestone digest in Slack grouped by classroom.
How do I catch children falling behind on developmental milestones early?
WebRun checks Teaching Strategies GOLD every Monday for checkpoint ratings below the expected range for each child's age band, logs every flagged child to a Google Sheets tracker, and posts your teaching team a milestone digest in Slack grouped by classroom, so no child falls through the cracks between formal assessments.
- Flagged children get a closer look the same week the rating drops, not months later at the next formal checkpoint
- Lead teachers open Slack every Monday to a ready made classroom by classroom digest
- Repeat flags are marked automatically so recurring concerns do not get lost in a long list
Built for preschool directors · pre-K teachers · early childhood educators · child care administrators

Questions, answered
Does WebRun decide if a child has a developmental delay?
No. It only flags checkpoint ratings below the expected range in GOLD so a teacher can look closer. Every judgment about a child's development stays with your qualified staff.
Will it contact families about a flagged milestone?
No. It only posts an internal digest to your teaching team in Slack. Deciding whether and how to talk with a family is left entirely to your staff.
How does it handle a child who catches up?
It reads live checkpoint ratings from GOLD every Monday, so once a child's rating moves back into range they drop off the digest automatically.
