Families who have concerns about their child’s development—such as learning, social, language, or gross/fine motor skills—may request a Preschool Special Education Screening. Screenings help determine whether a more formal evaluation may be needed and take place at BLOCKS / Juniper Hill School, located at 29 Upper Joclyn Ave. Each screening lasts approximately 45 minutes.
