September Early Childhood Screening

The Early Childhood years from birth to the start of kindergarten are an important time of rapid learning and growth.  Early Childhood Screening is a simple check of how your child is growing and developing.  

Between the ages of 3 and 4, screening can detect possible health or learning concerns so that children can get help before they start school. 

Parents accompany their child through the approximate hour-long process.  After the screening activities, the screener shares information on the child's growth, development, and learning.  The screening is free for children.  
You are encouraged to be screened in the district you reside in.  Early Childhood Screening is not a "test."  Your child will not pass/fail.  It is a tool to identify concerns, if any exist, to provide help before kindergarten.  

Screening is required before entering Kindergarten in a MN public school.  

Annandale Residents:  Screening is held at Annandale Elementary School in the Community Education Wing.  655 Park St East Annandale.  (Community Education entrance of Annandale Elementary School.) 

Please register for one time slot.  Once a time slot is taken it will not show as available.  Paperwork will be sent to you prior to your screening appointment.  If you have any questions contact the Community Ed office at (320) 274-3058
