The state of Minnesota requires that all children be screened before they enter kindergarten. This screening should be done by the time your child turns four years old. If you have a concern about your child's development at age three, the Family Center will perform specially requested screenings. Preschool classrooms and activities are designed to provide a variety of fun and meaningful hands-on learning experiences and staff members pay close attention to meeting children's individual and developing needs. All teachers are licensed in early childhood family education or early childhood special education.
Parent involvement is an important part of our preschool programs.
Children identified with special needs are provided opportunities for successful participation through joint programs and collaboration with our district's Early Childhood Special Education department. For information, call Louise Raths, Early Childhood Special Education coordinator, at 948-2063.
