EARLY CHILDHOOD CENSUS

The early childhood years from birth to the rest 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 and 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. Call for an appointment if: • You are new to the district • Your child is over four and has NOT been notified • Your child is entering Kindergarten in the Fall of 2018 and has not been screened • You need more information Annandale Residents: Call 320-274-3058 to schedule an appointment. Screening is held at Annandale Elementary School in the Community Education wing. (Please enter through Door 2) 655 Park Street East Annandale Annandale Screening Dates: • January 11, 2019 • February 1, 2019 • February 22, 2019 • March 8, 2019 • April 5, 2019

It is important to count every child 0-5 years in our school districts. Accurate data helps the school district qualify for state and federal funding. It can also help us plan for future educational needs. IF you have just moved into the area, or have a new child, please complete a census form located on our website.

EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS WHAT IS EARLY CHILDHOOD FAMILY EDUCATION/ECFE?

ECFE is a unique parent-child education program for all families with children ages birth – Kindergarten

Weekly classes have three parts: LEARNING TOGETHER During the first half hour of class, choose from many planned activities designed just for you and your child PURPOSEFUL PLAY FOR CHILDREN The remaining portion of class is designed for children to learn through play with their peers. All children benefit from guidance of a licensed early childhood teacher and experienced educational assistant. The goal is to help children develop a healthy self – concept and a love for learning. In several ECFE classes, parents, and children remain together for the entire class time. Look for the “NS” (Non-separating) next to the class on the schedule below. All other classes have a separating format including a parent component. CONNECTING WITH OTHERS While children are learning with their teachers, parents join together in an informal group setting for an informal group discussion on family topics; they share ideas, learn more about their child’s development and benefit from feeling connected to other parents with similar issues. • Early Childhood Family Education weekly schedule at a Glance “NS” means Non-Separating; parents and children remain together for this class. • Below classes located at Annandale Elementary, Comm.
