Early Childhood Screening

Early Childhood screening is a free and simple check of how your child is growing, developing and learning.

Screening is required by the State of Minnesota for any child enrolling in a public school and is provided free of charge. While screening is required prior to kindergarten, the recommended age is 3 and is required prior to enrollment in preschool and pre-kindergarten programs.  Minnesota Department of Education website.

During screening a trained professional will check:

• vision and hearing
• height and weight
• immunization history
• large and small muscles
• thinking, language and communication skills
• social and emotional development

Early childhood screenings have resumed for the new school year. Online registration for incoming Kindergarteners will begin Aug. 1. Children ages 3-5 who will not be attending kindergarten in the fall will be able to register for fall 2022 appointments beginning Aug. 15.
