Danville District 118 wants to get the message out to parents of three to five year old children that it’s not too early to be thinking about a pre-kindergarten screening. Two of them are coming up this month, both at Central Christian Church, 1101 North Vermilion. District Pre-K Coordinator Kathy Schluter says screenings very important for getting children off to a good start.
AUDIO: Especially if you’re thinking about Pre-K next year, this is a great time to get them screened so that they can be on the wait list and be ready to go when school starts in the fall. Really a screening is a chance for us to gather some information about the child, and just where their skills are right now so that when they get into the classroom, the teacher has an idea of where to start with the child, so that we can individualize their learning and target the activities for them, so that we can move that child forward as quickly as possible.
Those screening dates later this month are Thursday the 21st and Thursday the 28th. Central Christian Church, the church with the big red doors at 1101 North Vermilion. There will also be periodic screenings from November through the rest of the school year.
