Preschool Teacher & Staff Performance Evaluation
A parent- and guardian-facing evaluation of a child's preschool teacher and classroom staff, covering communication, safety, warmth, and learning quality. Built for center directors gathering input for staff performance reviews, with an AI follow-up interview that reconstructs one specific recent interaction instead of vague praise or complaints.

- Daily communication with families
- Classroom safety practices
- Behavior management

Rank these staff development priorities in order of importance for improving your child's classroom experience.

Reconstruct one specific, recent interaction the parent had with this teacher or classroom staff — what happened, how the teacher handled it, and how the parent felt about the outcome. Anchor on their recommendation likelihood and satisfaction ratings: if either was low, dig into the exact moment that drove it and what a good resolution would have looked like; if both were high, identify the specific behavior worth reinforcing so it can be shared as feedback with the teacher.
What age group is your child in at this preschool?
- Infant
- Toddler
- Preschool (3-4 years)
- Pre-K (4-5 years)
- Prefer not to say
How long has your child been in this teacher's classroom?
- Less than 3 months
- 3-6 months
- 6-12 months
- More than 1 year
- Prefer not to say

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Includes a matrix rating of teacher and classroom staff across multiple dimensions (communication, safety, warmth, learning quality) rather than a single overall score
- Uses an AI follow-up interview to reconstruct one specific, recent interaction the parent had with the teacher, replacing vague praise or complaints with concrete detail
- Captures both quantitative satisfaction and recommendation metrics (opinion scale) alongside qualitative context like update frequency and responsiveness to concerns
- Closes with a ranking of staff development priorities and open-ended improvement areas, giving directors actionable, prioritized input for performance reviews
Jotform
Preschool Staff Evaluation Form TemplateA static, form-builder-style template for evaluating preschool staff, easy to customize with Jotform's drag-and-drop editor and embed on a center's site. It relies on fixed rating questions and text fields rather than any adaptive follow-up, so nuance in parent feedback depends entirely on how well the form fields are pre-designed. Good for quick deployment, but reporting and analysis are manual or dependent on separate Jotform add-ons.
What it does well
- Easy to customize and brand within Jotform's form builder
- Simple for parents to fill out quickly
- Can be embedded or shared via link with minimal setup
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up questioning — all questions are fixed at design time
- No mechanism to reconstruct specific interactions; relies on open text boxes that often yield vague comments
- No automated per-response quality scoring or auto-generated director-ready reports
SurveySparrow
Preschool Staff Evaluation Form TemplateSurveySparrow offers a conversational-style survey template for preschool staff evaluation, which improves completion rates over plain forms through its chat-like UI. It still uses pre-set question flows rather than true adaptive interviewing, so it can't probe deeper based on a parent's specific answer. Reporting is dashboard-based rather than narrative, director-ready summaries.
What it does well
- Conversational UI likely improves parent completion rates versus a traditional form
- Supports branching logic for basic personalization
- Mobile-friendly presentation suited to parents filling it out on phones
Where it falls short
- Branching logic is rule-based, not an AI-driven adaptive interview that reconstructs a specific interaction
- No voice AI interview option for parents who prefer speaking over typing
- No transparent, published prompt methodology or automated quality scoring of responses
Typeform
Preschool Teacher Evaluation Form TemplateTypeform's preschool teacher evaluation template uses its signature one-question-at-a-time design, which tends to feel more personal and reduce drop-off compared to dense grid forms. Like other form builders, questions are static once published, with no capability to dynamically follow up on a parent's specific answer. Useful for structured feedback collection, but summarization into a staff-review-ready report requires manual work or separate integrations.
What it does well
- Clean, one-question-at-a-time interface that reduces respondent fatigue
- Strong design customization to match a preschool's branding
- Wide range of native question types (rating, multiple choice, opinion scale) for structured feedback
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI interviewing — the flow is fixed logic, not a real-time follow-up conversation
- No option for voice-based interviews or guided screen-share tasks
- No built-in automated scoring or auto-generated performance reports for directors
