Preschool Options and Early Learning Readiness Check-up Appointment Information

| To determine your child's needs, early learning readiness check-ups take place each spring.

| Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Readiness Appointments |
Why book an appointment? Prairie Rose School Division offers preschool speech and language check-ups around the district to provide parents, educators and health care professionals with valuable information about a child’s development. The check-up process enables Prairie Rose to arrange early intervention (programming and support) for children with developmental delays. Check-ups are not an assessment and therefore will only be used to identify children who may require further assessment. Children entering a JK/K program are encouraged to be screened prior to attending the program, unless determined otherwise. |
Who conducts the assessments? Trained individuals/professionals will work with the child (ages 2 to 5) and his/her parent(s) to answer a series of questions. The parent stays with the child at all times. |
How do the appointments work? The child may be asked to demonstrate a skill by the parent or the specialist. |
Where do the appointments take place? Check-ups will take place at schools in various communities around our region. If unable to attend the check-up in one community or if check-ups are not being offered at a school, we recommend that parents arrange to attend check-ups at the most convenient location. |
