The objective was to validate ELORS scale (Early Learning Observation and Rating Scale) to help educational process, emphasizing characteristics that can be early signals of learning deficiencies.Scale was applied to parents of 2 public schools and 2 private schools (N = 57 students). Results of reliability using Cronbach’s alpha were as follows: Perceptual and Motor (0.916), Self-management (0.896), Social and Emotional (0.893), Early Mathematics (0.956), Early Literacy (0.955), Receptive Language (0.943) and Expressive Language (0.948). When evaluated the differences between private and public schools, we found significant data in the Domain 2 in the behavior and mood consistency (p = 0.008); Domain 3 in functioning regardless of adult care (p = 0.006); Domain 4 in naming numbers (p = 0.026), counting in the appropriate sequence (p = 0.035), counting objects with precision (p = 0.026), determining which of the two groups of objects has more or less objects (p = 0.017), determining which object comes next in a sequence (0.
