In the light of mounting interest in child education and the role of kindergartens in this education, the need has risen to investigate the evaluation of the growth of kindergarten children . This is in order to create an opportunity for proper education. The purpose of this study was to develop a proposed model for the evaluation of children in Nablus district kindergartens . This model was based on the following criteria :- 1- Extent of physical and physiological development of the child . 2- Extent of mental development of the child . 3- Extent of linguistic development of the child . 4- Extent of psychological development of the child . 5- Extent of social development of the child . 6- Child's state of health . 7- Child's creativity skills . As means of structuring the problem, the researcher sought the answer to the following questions and hypotheses :- 1- What is the required change to be implemented in the present kindergartens' children evaluation process in order to avoid the shortcomings of the present evaluation procedures and to attain the desired aims . 2- What is the extent of the acceptability of the model by the sample of the study in terms of its criteria . Hypothesis: 1- There are no statistically significant differences at the point (α= 0,5 ) level between headmistresses' and supervisors' evaluation, on the one hand, and teachers' evaluation of the evaluations criteria and indicators pointing to them , on the other hand . 2- There are no statistically significant differences at the point (α = 0,5 ) level that can be attributed to academic qualification variable between headmistresses' and supervisors' evaluation, on the one hand, and teachers' evaluation of evaluation criteria and indicators referring to them, on the other hand . 3- There are statistically significant differences at the point (α = 0,5 ) level that can be attributed to years of experience variable showing headmistresses' and supervisors' evaluation, on the one hand, and teachers' evaluation of evaluation criteria and indicators referring to them, on the other hand . Methodology: The researcher has used a questionnaire of seven evaluation criteria that have indicators pointing to them. The questionnaire consisted of 60 items . The questionnaire was distributed among the sample population which totaled 105 subjects. To analyze the data, standard derivation, the means, and repeated measures design have been used . Finding: The results of the study showed the agreement of the sample study on the proposed evaluative model, criteria, and indicators referring to them . The results also showed the following :- 1- There are no statistically significant differences at the point (α = 0,5 ) level between the headmistresses' and supervisors' evaluation, on the one hand, and teachers' evaluation of the proposed evaluation model on the other hand . 2- There are no statistically significant differences at the point (α = 0,5 ) level that can be attributed to academic qualification variable among the subjects of the research concerning the proposed evaluation model 3- There are statistically significant differences at the point (α = 0,5 ) level attributed to years of experience variable among the study sample pertaining to the proposed evaluated model . The Recommendations: In the light of these results, the researcher has the following recommendations :- 1- Applying the proposed evaluation model in kindergarten . 2- Introducing a variety of educational activities in the curricula of kindergarten 's education system . This would increase the efficiency of the evaluation process . 3- Training kindergarten women teachers in a way that enables them to conduct the evaluation process in the right manner . 4- Creating a kind of job satisfaction for the kindergarten women teachers so that they could perform their duty perfectly . 5- Effective cooperation among kindergarten women teachers, headmistresses and supervisors to allow the evaluation process to succeed . 6- Effective participation of parents in the evaluation process of children .
