Child Find

Child Find is a federally funded project in the State of Delaware that locates, identifies, and provides educational services to persons ages 0 – 22 who are not already attending a public school. In the Colonial School District, a Child Find team is involved in screening, evaluating, and recommending specific services for referred school-aged and preschool-aged children. 

To ensure a smooth evaluation process, we ask families to fully complete and submit all referral forms listed below prior to a representative reaching out to start the process. 

Evaluations:

  • PreSchool (birth to 2.5 years old) 

    • If your child is under three years old and you have concerns regarding your child’s development in any of the areas listed below, please contact Birth to Three at 302-283-7240 

  • PreSchool (2.5-5 years old) 
    • If you live in Colonial School District, but your child attends a childcare or preschool in another school district, please contact that district for assistance with the evaluation process. 
  • The following questionnaires must be completed as a next step in the process: https://forms.gle/pWRXEcrF88W1XHk97  
    •  Please complete the questionnaire for the ASQ-3 and ASQ-SE. Once we have those results of both questionnaires (ASQ-3 ASQ-SE) someone will call you back to continue the referral process, explain next steps, and answer any questions you may have. https://ceep.colonialschooldistrict.org/screening
