Early Childhood Screening (ARB)
Early Childhood Screening is a free service to check your child's growth, development, and learning.
Screening is recommended at 3½ years old but can be done anytime between ages 3 and 5, before starting kindergarten.
For more information about screening, view a short video. The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) also has an information page about screening.
During your child's screening, we will:
- Conduct a simple check of vision, hearing, height, weight, and development.
- Review health history and immunizations.
- Identify any areas where your child may benefit from additional resources to support their development.
Note: There is no charge for screening, but you must add this course to your cart and complete the checkout process to be enrolled. An email confirmation will be sent to you to confirm your appointment enrollment. You will also receive an email reminder a couple days prior to the appointment. (Check your Spam or Junk email folders if the email doesn't come directly to your inbox).
