What is early childhood screening?

Screening is an early look at a child's development and begins as early as age three. This allows health and developmental concerns to be addressed at least one to two years before a child enters kindergarten. The state of Minnesota requires health and developmental screening for every child before kindergarten entry into a public school. Anoka-Hennepin offers this service at no cost. Screening is not a substitute for health care from your family physician, dentist, or other health care providers.

Early childhood screening checks:

• Fine and gross motor skills
• Vision and hearing
• Speech and language development
• Height and weight
• Cognitive and social development
• Immunizations
  
  

How to register for a screening appointment: 

• Registration for Early Childhood Screening is done online. It's easy and available 24 hours a day on our website. 

• When registering, select a location, date, and time that works for your family.

• After completing your registration, you will receive an immediate email confirmation that includes your screening date, time, and location. If you do not receive an email course confirmation a few minutes after registering, your registration may not have gone through and your appointment will not be valid. If you are a new user of the Eleyo registration system and have created a new account during the registration process, you will receive two emails - one to welcome you as a new Eleyo user and another to confirm your screening registration.
