Nokomis Community Unit #22 is informing families that the Early Childhood Program is holding their spring screening for 3 and 4 year old children on Friday, March 19th. This will be held at the First Baptist Church Fellowship Hall in Nokomis. Early Childhood Director Amy Blaum says that this is a good way to determine who is eligible to come into the PreK program.

Children must be 3 or 4 years old on or before September 1st, 2021 and live in Nokomis School District to be eligible for the program. If you were enrolled in the Nokomis School District Pre-K program last year, you do not need to register again or be screened. Blaum says they are looking at all kinds of different areas of child development during the screening process.

You will be automatically enrolled for a second year in Pre-K if the child is not yet eligible for Kindergarten. 

If you had your child screened last year, but didn’t enroll him/her you will have to have your child screened again this year.
