Success-By-6 is undertaking a local preschool health roundup tomorrow.
The event is for families of three and four year-olds, and will include information on nutrition and safety, as well as child wellness (including dental, hearing, and vision checks), child development, and school readiness.
Organizer Lynn Locher says screening for developmental issues is a vital preventative measure for parents of young children.
