EARLY CHILDHOOD SCREENING 

The State of Minnesota requires all children attending kindergarten to be screened. HLWW schedules screening for families with young children throughout the school year. Screening at age three is preferred and recommended. Screening is most valuable when completed before your child turns four years old. 

What is Early Childhood Screening: 

Early Childhood Screening is a free and simple check of how your child is growing, developing and learning! At a screening appointment a trained professional will check: vision, hearing, height, weight, immunizations, large/small muscle development (fine and gross motor), thinking, language, communication skills, cognitive, social and emotional development. 

Why Early Childhood Screening Important: 

Screening helps identify children who may benefit from early childhood services before they enter school and connects them with appropriate resources and programs. If your child has already been screened, he/she does not need to be screened again.
