Early childhood screening is a way of observing a child’s development in areas such as speech and language, learning, social growth, fine and gross motor, vision and hearing. A screening can provide information about a child’s strengths and areas of weakness, and also provides an opportunity for parents to discuss their concerns. Learn more about screening 

Applications for the 2026-27 school year will be available on January 5^th on our website or in-person at CHECP.   Children must be three years old by September 1st to enroll. Children living in Acton or Boxborough are eligible to apply and attend the program based on space availability.  Given the anticipated number of applications expected for September enrollment, admission for new students
