Early Childhood Screening
Early Childhood Screening is a careful check of your child's health, well-being and development. The results of the screening will help to identify needs that may require special attention before your child enters school. It is also an opportunity to gain information on available resources for your child.
The program does not make recommendations as to whether or not your child is ready for kindergarten.
Who is required to be screened?
All children living in District 129, who are between 3 1/2 and 4 years old, NEED to participate in the FREE screening program before entering kindergarten or have an equivalent screening from a doctor.
When should the screening be done?
The best time to have your child screened is when he/she is between 3 1/2 and 4 years. This provides time to work on any concerns that may be identified.
What does the screening include?
Vision and Hearing Check
Height and Weight
*Immunization Review
*Developmental and Speech Progress
