Early Childhood Screening

If you have a son or daughter who is between the ages of 3 and starting Kindergarten, now is the time to make your appointment for Early Childhood Screening! This is an important screening for both your child’s physical development (they screen both hearing and vision) and their emotional and academic growth. Appointments typically take 1 hour and your child will enjoy working with 1-2 specialists (depending on the district). Below you will find the links to sign up depending on what school district your mailing address falls into. ***Remember, this is highly recommended for our preschool enrollment as well as our Kindergarten class.

District 622 - Maplewood, North St. Paul, Oakdale

District 832 - South Washington County Schools

District 833 - Stillwater
