About Early Childhood Screenings
Early Childhood Screening

Early Childhood Screening is a free & simple check of how your child is growing, developing & learning. It is best done when your child is 3 years old. It is also a requirement for any child entering school in Minnesota. It is designed to ensure the healthy growth of students to be successful in any educational setting and if needed, connect them to resources that will support their development.
At your child's screening appointment, a trained professional will check:
• Hearing & vision
• Growth, immunizations & movement
• Thinking, language & communication skills
• Social & emotional development
Early Childhood Screenings are done by the Minnewaska School District. To register, click the link below. For questions, please contact 320-239-1406.
If your child has not or will not receive the full series of immunizations, please complete this form and notarize as needed.
