Preschool Screening in Region One

Overview

The Region One School District conducts free preschool screenings for any child who lives in the towns of North Canaan, Canaan, Salisbury, Sharon, Cornwall or Kent. Screenings are usually conducted on the first and third Fridays of each month, however, exceptions can be made to accommodate individual family circumstances.

Scheduling

Parents should sign their child up for a screening when their child is three years of age. However, if you missed the screening at age three, you can still sign your child up for a screening, as we screen both three and four year olds. To schedule, please refer to this chart:

The Importance of Having Your Child Screened

A preschool screening provides parents with important information regarding their child’s development. Therefore, we recommend that you have your child screened even if you do not have any concerns about his/her development. Our screening teams consist of a preschool teacher, Speech-Language Clinician, School Psychologist, and the School Nurse. We use the Battelle Developmental Screening which focuses on the areas of: physical development, social development, adaptive skills, communication skills, and cognitive skills.

We look forward to meeting you and your child!
