Unit 40 Kindergarten Preview and Open House, Preschool and Kindergarten Screening

Effingham Unit 40 has released information on both a Kindergarten Preview and Pre-Registration and Open House activities at the Early Learning Center, as well as on Preschool and Kindergarten Screening.

 

 

The Effingham Unit #40 Early Learning Center has scheduled their kindergarten preview night for all children entering kindergarten this fall for Monday, March 13 from 5:30-7:00 pm. All children turning 5 years old by September 1, 2012 are eligible to attend. The Early Learning Center is located at 3224 South Banker Street. All children will receive a kinderkit to help them prepare for kindergarten, and parents will receive a sneak peek into the life of a kindergarten student.  For more information about preview, please contact the Early Learning Center at 540-1460.

 

Effingham Unit #40 has scheduled screening for preschool and kindergarten age children. Screenings will take place March 21-23 from 8 am to noon and again from 3 to 6 pm each day. We will also have screenings on Friday, March 24 from 8 am to noon. The screenings will be held at the First Presbyterian Church.

 

The screening program provides parents information on how their child is developing with regards to motor, academic, and language skills. The program is offered free of charge. It may take approximately one hour.

 

A developmental screening for children age newborn to three years old will also be available at the same time and location.
