About Early Childhood Screening
Preschool Screening
In Minnesota, all children are required to complete early childhood screening before they enter Kindergarten in a public school. Ideally, children should be screened at 3 years of age. The screening is a check of the child’s health and development. Results of the screening help identify health or learning concerns that may require special attention before the child enters kindergarten. There is no cost for this screening. Screening includes: Hearing & Vision Checks, Height & Weight Measurements, Speech & Language Assessment, and Developmental Observations.
