EARLY CHILDHOOD SCREENING
Screening is a brief, simple procedure used to identify potential health or
developmental problems in infants and young children who may need a health
assessment, diagnostic assessment or educational evaluation. In early childhood,
screening supports children's readiness for preschool and kindergarten and
promotes health and development. Screening includes vision and hearing,
height and weight, immunization review, large and small muscles, thinking,
language and communication skills, as well as social and emotional
development.
ALL children must be potty trained before starting the Upsala Early Childhood
program.
EARLY CHILDHOOD CURRICULUM
We believe that you are your child’s first teacher. Our program offers a play-
based approach to learning that is developmentally appropriate for your child.
We provide an environment that will allow your child to explore, create, and have
positive interactions with his or her peers and teachers. Our program follows the
Minnesota Early Childhood Indicators of Progress (ECIPs) “The ECIPs are a tool for early care and education programs to plan curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development activities. The domains of learning addressed in the ECIPs are: Approaches to Learning (ATL); Arts (ARTS); Language, Literacy, and Communication (LLC); Mathematics (MATH);
Physical and Movement Development (PHYS); Scientific Thinking and Exploring (ST); Social and Emotional Development (SE); and Social Systems (SOSY)”
COMMUNICATION
I welcome open and frequent communication from families. Please reach out
with any questions or concerns. Thank you for being a partner in your child’s
education!
