Schools provide preschool screening

Haverhill public schools provide free preschool screening to 3- and 4-year-old children in Haverhill. Preschool screening is a brief look at a child's overall development, including the areas of language, motor skills, and thinking and reasoning skills.

Screening is a brief, child-friendly, play-oriented time during which a trained preschool teacher will work with the child. The information gained from preschool screening may help answer some parents' questions and help make decisions about good learning experiences for your child. For information or to make an appointment, call the Moody School at 978-374-3459 or 978-374-3484.
