Helpful Hints
Do bring all the required paperwork, if you do not have your child’s Birth certificate and Social Security card order them now. No child will be admitted into the program without a Birth Certificate and Social Security card.

Do consider the time of day you attend screening. If your child is a morning person, attend in the morning. If your child is happier in the afternoon, attend after lunch.

Do bring your child to screening well fed and well rested.

Do have only one adult attend the screening with your child. This adult may be a parent or grandparent, however, we ask that you consider closely how well your child will separate and cooperate with the adult who brings them to screening.

Do leave siblings at home. We have limited space and the elementary school students are still in session. We need to be respectful of the learning that will be taking place in the building.
Do prepare your child. Talk to him/her many times about what will happen on screening day. If a child knows what to expect, they will be less fearful and the experience will be fun. Explain to your child what a “big” boy/girl they have become and how fun going to school will be. Meeting new adults is scary for many children; speak to your child about meeting the teachers in school, and how excited we are to meet and play games with them.
