Early Childhood Screening

In Minnesota, all children between the ages of 3-5 years old, need to participate in an Early Childhood Screening. The best time for screening is at age 3 1/2. If your child is ready to enter kindergarten and has not yet been screened, please make an appointment here.

Early childhood screening includes a check of a child’s vision, hearing, height, weight, immunizations, speech and language, motor skills, social skills and general development.  Children are screened one at a time and individual attention is given to each child and family.
