The early childhood years from birth to the start of kindergarten are an important time of rapid learning and growth. Screening is most valuable for children who are 3.5 to 4 years old. If a child’s developmental delays are not identified until they are about to enter kindergarten, they have missed out on one to two years of early childhood services that could make a huge difference to their school success! Screening is required by State Law before Kindergarten.
​
Early Childhood Screening is a simple screening of your child's:
  • social/emotional
  • language
  • motor
  • cognition skills
  • height, weight, vision, and hearing
The screening appointment takes about an hour to complete.

Early Childhood Screening is:
  • Recommended that children are screened at age 3.5 years
  • Required prior to starting Kindergarten in Paynesville
  • Screening is free of charge
Screening Dates for the 2025-26 School Year will be posted soon

Rachel Braun, school nurse, will be contacting families to set up early childhood screening appointments
