Screenings scheduled

Amy Jo Hunter, a preschool teacher at the Sikeston Early Childhood Center, helps Austin Nance and Ryan Skinner play a peanut counting game at the Kindergarten Center.

The Kindergarten, ECC and Parents as Teachers Program will hold their annual birth-4 years screenings Feb. 4-7. The free screenings will check the vision, dental, hearing, speech and developmental areas of the children attending.

The screening determines who attends the 4-year-old ECC program for the 2008-2009 school year. Call 471-0653 to make the necessary appointment for children to be screened. Screenings are conducted between 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday and Wednesday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday.
