Early Childhood Screening

Early Childhood Screening is a FREE, simple check of how your child is growing, developing and learning. State law requires children to be screened between the ages of 3 to 5 years old.

The state of Minnesota requires health and developmental screening for every child before kindergarten entry into a public school. New Prague offers this service at no cost. Screening is not a substitute for health care from your family physician, dentist, or other health care providers.

Early childhood screening checks:

• Fine and gross motor skills
• Vision and hearing
• Speech and language development
• Height and weight
• Cognitive and social development
• Immunizations

Appointments typically take an hour.
