Every year the Norfolk Public Schools offers a preschool developmental screening for Norfolk residents ages three and four years old.  This screening is part of the Child Find Mandate affiliated with The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act 2004 (IDEA).  This screening is used as a first step in identifying children that may meet the eligibility criteria for special education services before kindergarten.

Screening takes place at the H. Olive Day School, 232 Main Street, by appointment only.  The screening tool used targets the following developmental domains:  speech/language, fine/gross motor and cognition.  This is not a kindergarten readiness screening and is not used to determine if a child is “ready for preschool/kindergarten.”  All children entering kindergarten in September are screened in the spring prior to school entrance.

Please call 508-541-5478, ext. 2043 beginning January 13, 2025 to schedule a screening appointment.  The screening will be held on January 17, 2025 from 12:30-2:30 p.m.
