I Want To Grow

A partnership with the Family Service Collaboratives in St. Louis County and Local Early Childhood Agencies, United Way of Northeastern Minnesota supports I Want To Grow - a movement to encourage early childhood screening in our service territory.

 

The early childhood years from birth to the start of kindergarten are an important time of rapid learning and growth.    Early childhood screening helps you:

  • Answer parenting questions
  • Find out how your child is doing
  • Connect to early childhood programs, services and other community resources

All of this information is important for your child's continued learning and readiness for future school success.

 

During an Early Childhood Screening, well qualified staff such as a school or public health nurse or licensed teacher will check your child's:

  • Vision
  • Hearing
  • Height/Weight
  • Skills in thinking, language and communication

 

As soon as your child turns THREE - call your school district and make an appointment for a FREE screening!
