Early Childhood Screening

A free check of how your child is growing, developing and learning

Early Childhood Screening is a free opportunity to connect you and your family with district and community resources, if needed, to support your child and prepare school, parents and community for successful learners. This free assessment is required by the State of Minnesota before entry into Kindergarten

What happens during an Early Childhood Screening appointment?

A trained professional will check: vision & hearing; large & small muscles; height & weight; health & immunization; social & emotional development; thinking, language & communication skills.

When do you schedule your Early Childhood screening appointment? Ideally, children participate in screening between the ages of 3 1/2 and 4. Earlier is better!

Appointments last approximately 1 hour. Contact us to set up your child’s screening appointment. Call 952-746-5815 or email ecscreening@orono.k12.mn.us
