Early Childhood ScreeningIt is state law that every child entering kindergarten in a public school must have had a developmental screening. If children are screened in another community the results from the screenings must be submitted to the ECFE Office prior to school entrance. Parents who conscientiously object to Early Childhood Screening should contact the ECFE Office. Early Childhood Screenings are scheduled from September - March of each school year. Information will be sent out to all children between the ages of 3 years and kindergarten entrance that we do not have screening records for. This screening is free of charge. What To Expect At The Screening: Children participate in an evaluation of speech, language, fine and gross motor skills, behavioral, social and emotional development, hearing and vision, height and weight measurement, immunization recording, and a parental question and answer period. How To Arrange A Screening: Register online for the appointment that works best for your family. We will not be able to accommodate walk-ins. It is suggested that you register early to assure that you get the time which best fits into your schedule.Category -
