The Child Outreach Department of the Warwick Public Schools, in cooperation with VOWS, Inc. conducts regular preschool screening clinics. All Warwick preschool children between the ages of 3 and 5 are offered the Early Screening Inventory-Revised (ESI-R). This is a free service provided by the Warwick Public Schools. Participation in a clinic is voluntary and requires the written permission of a parent or guardian. Child Outreach Developmental Screening is a long established program of the Warwick Public Schools that provides families with information about their child’s development and offers information about community resources. All clinics are conducted at Warwick Early Learning Center at John Brown Francis School at 325 Miantonomo Drive. For more information or to arrange a clinic appointment for your preschool aged child, call the VOWS office at 298-6973. The screenings are done by appointment only and therefore we would not like to publish the screening dates. Pictured at their office at JBF are Delores Hyle and VOWS director Claire Flaherty.
