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. How old should my child be at screening? The best age to screen is at 3.5 years old.
Schedule an Early Childhood Screening today!

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.

PRESCHOOL
Heggerty is a phonological awareness curriculum that we use daily in all our preschool classrooms, ages 3-5 years. Phonological awareness is extracting the sound structure of words and is an important and reliable predictor of later reading ability. Learning phonological awareness is one of the most important skills young children develop while learning to read.
Second Step is used within our classrooms to deliver high-quality self-regulation and social-emotional learning. Teaching children to appropriately interact with peers, solve problems cooperatively, learn to handle their emotions, and begin to understand the emotions of others are the most important skills for children to learn, and it sets them up for long-term learning success.
We are the only preschool integrated and aligned with Proctor Public Schools and Hermantown Community Schools.
Promote independence for kindergarten AND help with the transition Because we are part of each school district we are able to align our curriculum and share assessment data with our elementary schools. We serve children of all abilities. Our inclusive classrooms allow typical and special needs students to learn and grow together. All our classrooms welcome the early childhood special education teachers to teach alongside the general education teacher to ensure every students needs are being met. We support the whole family. Our ECFE (Early Childhood Family Education) teachers, parent educators, and preschool teachers work closely together to support the entire family and make it a positive experience.
Bridges in Mathematics is a play-based curriculum our teachers use daily to engage children through the use of contextual themes, games, stories, mysteries and intriguing problems, manipulatives, and visual models. It is also logically sequenced to allow for depth and focus as children progress in knowledge and skills. GOLD Assessment is an authentic and comprehensive assessment tool aligned with state and national standards. It is embedded into our daily instruction to monitor the growth and development of all learners. The assessment data informs teachers’ planning and instruction, and it aligns with the Early Childhood Indicators of Progress to evaluate preschoolers’ development and learning. Learning through guided play is heavily respected and guided within our classrooms by our teachers. All our teachers develop an intentional classroom environment so children are able to reinforce what they learn through play. Building upon their social-emotional skills through practice is an important part of their day, and children are provided ample opportunities to play with peers and interact with caring and devoted staff.
RailHawks Preschool is part of the family of schools within Proctor Public Schools and Hermantown Community Schools where we educate, engage, and inspire students daily. Our preschool classrooms are for learners of all abilities, making them inclusive and diverse. The classroom environment is warm and inviting, while teachers promote independence for kindergarten and to become successful learners.
