Pre-School
Health Checks
Tuesday
15 November, 2016
Women’s and
Children’s Health Network, through Child and Family Health Service offers free
child health checks at key ages between birth and 5 years.
As part of this
service, Child and Family Health Nurses visit pre-schools throughout South
Australia to offer health checks to all children between 4 and 5 years of age.
The health check
includes a discussion with you about your child’s growth and development,
immunisation status and will also assess your child’s:
·
distance vision
·
hearing
·
height and weight
·
oral health
Carol Foster, Child
and Family Health Nurse will visit the Early Learning Centre on Tuesday 15th November from
9.15am and you are encouraged to attend.
If you are unable to attend but
nominate another adult, you are required to complete a written consent which is
on the back of the letter you receive when you make an appointment.
Please note: it is
essential that an adult of your choice is present with your child at the ELC.
If this is not possible, you may have the health check completed by your GP or
at your local Child and Family Health Service clinic.
Please also note; the minimum age for Health Check is 4 years
and 3 months
Just a reminder to book
early as all places were fully booked last term.
Please make your booking with
Mrs Mandy at the Front Desk.
