Early Childhood Health and
Developmental Screening

Early Childhood Screening is a careful review and check of your child’s health, well-being and development. Together, parents and professionals identify strengths and areas that may require special attention before your child enters school. It is required by the State of Minnesota and is offered free of charge to all children living in ISD 196.
