Colvill Early Childhood Screening

Early childhood screening provides the best opportunity for any health or developmental concerns to be found early and screening is offered monthly at Colvill Family Center throughout the school year.   

Screening is required for entrance in Minnesota’s public schools and must take place between age 3 and kindergarten.

While you may think fall 2026 is far away, kindergarten registration starts in February.

Please call 651-385-8000 to sign up for a screening date/time for your child.

Dates are:

• Jan. 8 and 22

• Feb. 5 & 19

• March 12

• April 9 and 23

• May 14

Screening is a quick, no-cost check of a child's vision and hearing, height and weight, immunization record and a review of health care coverage.

Screeners also look for risk factors that may impact learning, such as use of large and small muscles, thinking, language and speaking skills.

The screening includes a parent/guardian report of social-emotional development and a summary meeting.
