EARLY CHILDHOOD + FAMILY EDUCATION

Early Childhood Family Education is a program that offers classes and special events for children and their parents. Each class has a Parent/Child time. Parents and children spend time together playing, learning more about each other, doing art projects, enjoying music and special activities together.

EARLY CHILDHOOD SCREENING- 3/4 YEAR OLDS

The Triton Public School System offers early childhood screening clinics during the school year for all children between the ages of 3 and 5 years.  The state of Minnesota recommends this at AGE 3 and requires this for kindergarten entrance.  Early Childhood Screening is a quick and simple check of how your child is growing and learning.  The screening includes a developmental assessment, vision and hearing tests, height and weight measurement and an immunization and health history review.

The purpose of this free screening is to identify children who may need additional time and assistance to be ready for school.  The sooner we get started, the more likely your child will begin school with the necessary skills to succeed.  

NEXT SCREENING DATES:

  • For the 23-24 school year screening dates are done. PLEASE email mknutson@triton.k12.mn.us to set up an individual screening and to get set up before May 1, 2024.

  • We will be offering 2 dates for Early Childhood Screening again for the 24-25 school year. Dates are still TBD. Please check back.

  • Call 507-418-7550 with any questions!
