The best time for your child to complete Early Childhood Screening is when they are three years old, but a child may be screened anytime between the ages of 3 and the start of kindergarten. Screening MUST be completed before kindergarten entry.


Early Childhood Screening is a free and simple check of your child’s vision, hearing, height, weight and development as well as a brief review of health history and immunizations. During screening, trained professionals will evaluate your child’s development in speech, language, fine and large motor skills, problem solving skills and social-emotional development.


Screening has two major purposes. It is used to determine if a child’s development is on track, and to provide families with information about community and learning resources for young children.


Screening is held at the North Branch Area Education Center. Come visit our bright and beautiful building that community children frequently call “the rainbow school." Screening is offered at least one time per month in the late afternoon/early evening 3:15 pm - 6 pm.


Just give us a call and we will help make a plan for your child. Upcoming screening dates: Sept 19, Oct 10, Nov 14, Dec 12, Jan 30, Feb 27, Mar 27, Apr 24.
