Preschool Screener is a new State Program that has been created to allow multiple screening records to be created and reported for students in Ed-Fi. State Reported fields for Screener and Screener Exit Status have been moved from the Early Childhood tab to the Preschool Screener program editor.

Early Childhood Screening is used to identify possible health or developmental concerns in infants and young children who may need additional assessment, evaluation or resources to address those concerns. Screening may link families to free early learning opportunities and resources such as Head Start or other programs. Preschool Screener is a State Program used to record data for children who have been screened.
