What is preschool screening? 

Screening is a quick look at how your 3-5 year old child is learning and growing.  The areas we screen are development of motor skills, thinking and language skills, self-help skills, and emotional growth.  Screenings allow us to determine the level of your child's development, if a more in-depth evaluation is needed, and if children qualify for Preschool for All programming.  

Why come for a screening?

Every child grows and develops at his or her own pace.  Still, child development tends to follow a predictable path.  As a parent you may wonder if your 3-4 year old child is learning or growing in the way you expect.  The chart below gives some milestones to consider for ages 2 to 4.  

 Preschool Screenings are held year-round!

Dates are listed below for our year-round screenings.  Please call Karen Wingfield at (815) 531-3348 to register for a preschool screening.
