Effingham Preschool and Kindergarten Screening

Effingham Unit 40 School District has scheduled screening for preschool and kindergarten age children.

Screening is set for each day on March 23-26 from 8am-noon and again from 3-6pm. Screening will take place at Cornerstone Christian Church on South US 45 in Effingham.

The screening program provides parents information on their child's motor, language, vision and hearing development. 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.

Unit 40 officials highly recommend that all kindergarten-aged children be screened before entering Kindergarten this fall.

For more information or to make an appointment, phone Sharon Chesnut (Effingham Early Learning Secretary) at 217-540-1400 by March 16.
