January 21, 2027 - Early Childhood Screening

All children in Minnesota are required to complete Early Childhood Screening prior to starting Kindergarten. The state's recommendation is to screen children soon after they turn three years old, but all children must be screened before starting Kindergarten. 

Screening is free of charge and is a simple check of how your child is growing and developing. The screening will help to determine strengths and skills that your child has, as well as catch any developmental concerns early, which would allow for early intervention before he or she begins school.
