Preschool Screening

District 111 provides development screenings for children ages 3 and 4 living within the boundaries of Burbank, Illinois. Developmental screenings typically assess a child's skill in areas such as language, motor development, self-help and emotional development. If a child is identified as a risk, further evaluation and support may be recommended. The next preschool screening will be held at McCord Early Learning Center on February 19, 2025.
