The Arthur School District and the Project HELP Preschool program will be offering free developmental screening to provide parents with an opportunity to discover how their child is developing in the areas of speech, language, concepts, and motor skills. Vision and hearing screenings will also be offered, free of charge. It’s time to think about Pre-school and Kindergarten for the upcoming school year for your child. To find out what preschool options are available in your community or to pre-register your child for kindergarten, schedule an appointment to have your child screened.

This screening will take place on Friday, April 10th, at the Lovington United Methodist Church, 241 South Broadway Street in Lovington. For an appointment, call Tiffany Reedy at (217) 873-4318. Signed parent or guardian permission is required. Screenings are required for potential enrollment in the Project HELP preschool program. To pre-register your child for kindergarten, bring a certified copy of their birth certificate, a physical with immunization records, dental and vision exams will also be accepted, if available.
