EARLY CHILDHOOD SCREENING
What is screening, anyway? Screening is a quick check of your child’s development. It’s happening in a wide variety of early childhood settings these days—from doctor's offices to preschools to child care programs. Screening takes a snapshot of your child’s current skills and helps accurately identify children who may be at risk for delays. Why is it important for my child to be screened? Regular screening provides a fast and helpful look at how your child is doing in important areas like communication, social skills, motor skills, and problem-solving skills. Screening can identify your child’s strengths, uncover new milestones to celebrate, and reveal any areas where your child may need support. It helps you understand your child’s development and know what to look for next. And it helps you work with doctors and educators to plan next steps when it makes the most difference—your child’s critical first years of life. What happens before screening takes place? Prior to screening caregivers will complete a series of informational paperwork and ages and stages questionnaires (ASQ) so we are able to collect valid, reliable, and age-appropriate information from the expert on your child - you! There are two screeners in the ASQ family: ASQ-3 which looks at key areas of early development and ASQ:SE-2, which focuses on social-emotional development. What happens during screening? Your child will participate in a series of activities with licensed early childhood teacher without the presence of a caregiver, and then, you and your child will visit with the Assistant Director of Community Education to review your ASQ information and screening results to determine the next appropriate steps for your child developmentally. What is the ideal age to participate in early childhood screening? The ideal age to screen is at 3.5 years old. How do I schedule a screening? Visit https://ph.ce.eleyo.com and navigate to Early Childhood Screening.
Screening young children is an effective, efficient way for professionals to check a child’s development, help parents celebrate their child’s milestones and know what to look for next, and determine whether follow-up steps are needed. It’s also an essential first step toward identifying children with delays or disorders in the critical early years, before they start school.
RAILHAWKS SCREENING - AGES 3 and up
Children will use an inquiry-based approach that promotes active hands on learning, fostering understanding, critical thinking, problem solving, reflection, and communication. You and your child will connect with other families through uninterrupted play alongside a licensed early childhood teacher to focus on guided play while developing cognitive, physical, and social-emotional skills.
