Child Find

Early intervention supports and services assist families of eligible children aged from birth to three to help their child develop to his or her full potential and, to the maximum extent possible, participate in the daily activities and routines of their families and communities with greater independence and competence.

If you have concerns about your child’s development in the areas of language, social, or learning skills, please ask about a Child Find appointment for a Developmental Preschool Screening. Children should be between the ages of 2 years, 9 months and 4 years, 11 months old and do not need to be toilet trained in order to attend a screening. Screening does not guarantee enrollment in a preschool classroom.
