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.
