January Early Childhood Screening (Ages 3 - 5)Preschool ScreeningREQUIRED Early Childhood SCREENING Attention all 3 - 5 year olds! Early Childhood Screening is required by law for all children prior to the start of Kindergarten. Early Childhood Screening is offered free of charge. We strongly encourage parents to screen at age 3 (the ideal age for screening is 3 ½). Early Childhood screening is a free check-in of how your child is learning and growing. Screening includes developmental assessment, vision and hearing tests, height and weight measurements and an immunization and health history review. Screening helps identify children who may need additional time and experiences to be ready for school and connects families to Early Childhood programs and community resources. Screening appointments take approximately 1.5 hours. If you have any questions, please give our office a call at 218.562.7520Early Childhood Family Education 24-25
