Screening is a free service required by the State of Minnesota for entrance into Kindergarten. The screening is most valuable soon after your child turns 3 years old. (3 1/2 to 4 years old is the ideal age) Screening includes a vision, hearing, and developmental assessment, as well as an opportunity to discuss any family circumstance that you feel may affect your child’s learning readiness. The screening will help identify any area your child may benefit from early childhood services before they enter school, and connect families with appropriate resources and programs. Screening takes approximately one hour to complete. * Appointments are required. Please Note: Screenings are now being conducted inside Central Early Learning Center – 6300 Walker Street, St. Louis Park, MN. 55416. Please enter door # 3 on the west side of the building. Please check-in at the office. Please complete the required forms and bring them to your screening appointment. CLICK HERE to access forms.
