GRANVILLE - L.E.A.S.E. and the Putnam County School District will offer a preschool screening on Monday, Aug. 2 and Tuesday, Aug. 3. The screenings will be held during the hours of 9 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Putnam County Primary School, in Granville. A parent must accompany their child to the screening.
Putnam County children who will be 3 yrs. old on or before Aug. 2nd are eligible for screening. It will cover small and large muscle development, speech, language, hearing, vision, cognition, and social skills. Parents, who have other developmental concerns about their child, can discuss those during the parent interview. We encourage all Putnam County families, with age-eligible preschoolers, to take advantage of this screening.
Results from the screening will be used to determine a child’s eligibility for the early childhood program at the Primary School Building in Granville. The preschool program (Preschool for All) is a state funded grant program from the Illinois Board of Education. The preschool program offers developmentally appropriate experiences for young children to strengthen their skills for success later on in school. The program includes hands-on activities presented in a positive and encouraging environment. Each child brings his/her own experiences to the program, which also helps to enhance the program.
Parents interested in making an appointment for the preschool screening can call the school at 815-882-2800 (ext. #5).
