Early Childhood Application and Screening

The Early Childhood application can be filled out for children starting at 2 years and 9 months of age. If your child is younger that 2 years and 9 months of age and you have developmental questions or concerns, please contact Tiny K at  785-330-4357.

The Early Childhood programming offered at Baldwin Elementary School Primary Center is designed to meet the needs of three and four year olds. There is one all day class for qualifying 4 year olds (limited to 20 students) based on in-person screenings.

All other Early Childhood Program classes are half day classes on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday (no 1/2 day classes on Wednesday). The morning session is from 8:00-11:20 AM, and the afternoon session is 11:50 –3:12 PM.

Fees for Early Childhood Program are as follows:
Special Education/At-Risk Students – $60 (one time) Snack Milk Fee
Peer Students: $50 per month and $60 (one time) Snack Milk Fee

Spots are reserved based on the timestamp for the application. Priority is given to children considered at-risk and/or who qualify for an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). All guardians must complete the online application and complete an in-person screening by appointment before placement is considered.

Please complete the Early Childhood Screening Application, including the linked questionnaires in the Confirmation Message after submission to begin the process. 

From August to May, online applications are reviewed within 2-3 weeks. Once reviewed, an additional email link is sent from a program called SignUpGenius, that prompts you to select an in-person screening appointment time held on the first Friday of each month.

If you have submitted an application, and have NOT received a SignUpGenius link after two weeks of the submission date, please call 785-594-2444. Slots are filled on a first-come first serve basis. Pending the time of your application you may not have an appointment until the following month.
