Vision Screening

Tuesday, February 2

Did you know that one out of every four children has a vision problem that may affect behavior or learning? Young children may not know they are seeing incorrectly which can make it difficult for parents or teachers to know there is a vision problem. Our vision screening is scheduled for Tuesday, February 2nd.
