Early Childhood Screening is a FREE developmental screening required for all preschool-age children by the State of Minnesota prior to entry in kindergarten and some early childhood programs. The optimum age to screen is 3 ½ but children can be screened at age 3-5. Screening benefits children and families.  Please choose a screening appointment time from the Early Childhood Screenings tab listed at the top of this webpage and click on appointments in the drop down menu OR call 218-333-3119 to have our secretary help you schedule an appointment.
