Minnesota Department of Education Early Childhood

The MDE Early Childhood Screening webpage contains links to screening brochures and forms in many different languages including Russian, Vietnamese, and Somali to name a few. Early Childhood Screening is a quick and simple check of how children are doing at age 3 ½ or 4 years old. It identifies, at an early stage, possible learning or health concerns so that children can get needed help before starting school. Early Childhood Screening is required for entrance in Minnesota?s public schools and is offered throughout the year by local districts.
