About Early Childhood Screening

Early Childhood Screening takes place once each month, October through May. (We may hold screenings on additional days to meet state requirements for kindergarteners and preschoolers.) Unless otherwise noted, all screenings take place at St. Mark Lutheran Church*, 1 North Rd., Circle Pines. Each month's appointments are available online at least two months in advance. If you don't see an appointment time that works for you, please call the Early Childhood office at 763-792-6120 or email ECScreening@isd12.org to discuss alternatives.
