There still might be an opportunity for your child to be screened at school if that works better in your family schedule. Sign up for this course and someone from the office will contact you. The office will contact you with some paperwork that we just need you to complete before we screen them during the school day. We will follow up with you after we screen your child with the results. The early childhood years from birth to the start of kindergarten are an important time of rapid learning and growth. Early Childhood Screening is a quick and simple check of how your child is growing and developing.
