preschool screening

Early childhood evaluation

Preschool screening is a standardized assessment given to young children before they enter school, typically around ages three to five.

It evaluates developmental readiness—vision, hearing, speech, motor skills, and cognitive abilities—to identify children who may need early intervention or special services: The district offers free preschool screening every spring.
