EARLY CHILDHOOD SCREENING INFORMATION
Did you know screening your child between ages 3–5 helps set the stage for lifelong learning and success?
Early Childhood Screening is an important check-up for children ages 3–5 that helps ensure they are growing, learning, and developing as expected before starting kindergarten. During the screening, your child’s vision, hearing, growth, and developmental milestones are reviewed—it’s a simple way to support their success in school and beyond!
We encourage families to complete screening as early as possible—ideally at age 3. The earlier it’s done, the sooner we can celebrate your child’s strengths and connect you with helpful resources if needed. AND, Early Childhood Screening is required before your child can attend kindergarten.
Schedule your child’s screening today!
To make an appointment, visit our website to schedule your child’s screening today! Screenings are free and take about an hour. Upcoming dates are available in November, with more appointments to open each month.
Give your child a strong start—schedule their Early Childhood Screening today!

All Day Preschool Afternoon Pick Up Reminder
Due to our limited space in the main parking lot, preschool families are reminded NOT TO ENTER THE MAIN PARKING LOT UNTIL 2:00 pm to park and pick up their child from all day preschool. The parking lot is used for kindergarten pick up from 1:50-1:59 PM. Thank you for your understanding and patience. As an added bonus, you won't have to wait in your car or stand outside as long.
