Early Childhood Screening
Early Childhood Screening is a free and simple check of how your child is growing, developing and learning. Screening at 3 is preferred, but a child may be screened between the ages of 3 and the start of kindergarten as required by law.
What to expect at a screening appointment? A trained professional will check:
• Vision and hearing
• Height and weight
• Immunizations (shots)
• Large and small muscles
• Thinking, language and communication skills
• Social and emotional development
This screening may help you link to other free learning opportunities, such as pre-kindergarten programming, Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE), Minnesota early learning scholarships for high quality care and education, Head Start, Home Visiting, and Early Childhood Special Education.
Upcoming Early Childhood Screening Dates:
February 18, 2025 - Appointments available 3:30 - 6:30 pm
To request a screening packet or to sign up for a screening date and time, please contact the Bridges Preschool Secretary at 507-831-6940 or email cgilbertson@isd177.com.
