Early Childhood Screening
Early Childhood Screening is a FREE developmental screening required for all preschool-age children by the State of Minnesota prior to entry into kindergarten and some early childhood programs. The best age to screen is 3 ½ but children can be screened at age 3-5. Screening benefits children and families.
At your child’s screening appointment, a teacher or nurse will check your child’s:
- Vision, hearing, height, and weight
- Social and emotional progress and overall development
- Immunizations and health history
Early childhood developmental screening helps:
- Parents confirm their child is on track with development
- Connect you with early childhood programs and services
- Answer your parenting questions
3 Reasons to Screen at Age 3
1. Early screening can help set your child up for success in school.
2. Any health or learning concerns can be identified early so intervention can be provided before the start of kindergarten.
3. Screening is FREE and provides a snapshot of your child's health and development.
