Dental and Physicals
We are required by the federal government to have physical and dental exams on all 3-5 yr olds within 90 days of enrollment in the Head Start program. Physical exams for our Early Head Start children birth to 36 months are obtained according to the Pennsyvania Well Baby Exam schedule (EPSTD). If your child has any current physicals or dental exam please turn them in to the health office as soon as you can. Thank you for your help
