Early Childhood Screening

Early Childhood Screening is a free and simple check of how a child is growing, developing, and learning. Screening supports a child’s readiness for school and may help identify potential health or developmental concerns. Families may also receive information and referrals to district or community early learning programs. Screening at 3 years of age is preferred, but a child may be screened between the ages of 3 and the start of kindergarten.
