Early Childhood Screening
The early childhood years, from birth to the start of Kindergarten, are a time of rapid growth, learning, and development. Early Childhood Screening is a FREE and simple check designed to:
- Promote healthy development.
- Identify children who may need further evaluation.
- Connect families to community resources.
Screening children between the ages of 3 and 4 helps detect potential health or learning concerns early, allowing children to receive the necessary support before starting Kindergarten. We strongly encourage parents to screen at age 3, with the ideal age being 3 ½ years old.
A trained professional will evaluate your child in the following areas:
- Vision and hearing
- Height and weight
- Immunization review
- Large and small muscle development
- Cognitive, language, and communication skills
- Social and emotional development
