Early Childhood Screening
Early Childhood Screening should be scheduled for children between the ages of 3 and 5 years old. The screening is required by state law for all kindergarteners and is recommended for 4-year-old kindergarten students before starting school. This screening includes a review of immunization and health information, and screening of vision, hearing, height, weight, speech and development.  The school district offers this screening at no cost to families. This screening can also be arranged with the child's doctor or health clinic. Screening is recommended for children when they are between 3 and 4 years old for early identification of any concerns that may interfere with learning.   

For a screening appointment, healthcare provider checklist, or information call the Early Childhood Screening Office at (651) 632-3746.
