Early Childhood Screening

The early childhood years from birth to the start of kindergarten are an important time of rapid learning and growth. 

Preschoolers between the ages of 3 and 4 years old need to participate in screening before entering Preschool or Kindergarten.

Early childhood developmental screening helps a school district identify children who may benefit from district and community resources available to help in their development. Early childhood developmental screening includes a vision screening that helps detect potential eye problems but is not a substitute for a comprehensive eye exam.
