The purpose of screening is early detection of children's development, health, and other factors that may interfere with a child's learning, growth, and development. Following screening, a teacher will talk with you about your child's results. You'll have the opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have about your child's development or circumstances that could affect your child's learning. The teacher may refer you and your child to another agency to be rechecked or to receive services that will help your child. The screening process takes about 45 minutes.
Parents wait in a room close by.
Please explain this to your child before you come to screening. Screening may also be conducted by your doctor or Public Health Services. Screening helps identify children who may benefit from early childhood services before they enter school and connects them with the appropriate resources and programs. Screening is offered afternoons, evenings, and Saturday mornings, year round. Please be prompt.
