Early Childhood Screening
Screening Forms
Alberta Education Funding - Services Provided By Foothills Creative Beginnings
Dear Parents,
As part of our effort to meet your child’s educational needs at Banff Rundle Playschool, we provide the opportunity for free Early Childhood Screening and Assessments through an organization called Foothills Creative Beginnings (FCB). Through FCB, a Speech-Language Pathologist and Occupational Therapist screen and assess young children ages 3-5 years to identify possible areas of focus in both speech and language and fine or gross motor and sensory development.
If needs are identified, your child might be eligible for assistance funded by Alberta Education, which is designed to get children ready for grade school. Parents will be contacted regarding any findings from the screening and assessment. If there are no concerns, you will NOT be contacted.
Consent to the Speech-Language/Occupational Therapy screening and assessment provides permission for our therapists to screen and assess your child at Banff Rundle Playschool, in early September. Please return all consent forms as soon as possible.
Thank you for filling out the attached forms. Please scan and return them to the FCB Program Administrator
If you have any questions, concerns or want to discuss your child’s specific needs, please contact the classroom teacher, Kelsie Lambert at teacher@banffplayschool.com
If you have any specific questions in regards to the Alberta Education funding please contact FCB or visit www.creativebeginnings.ca
Kind regards,
Kelsie Lambert Classroom Teacher
