Cambridge-Isanti Community Education

The early childhood years from birth to the start of kindergarten are an important time of rapid learning and growth. Early Childhood Screening is a quick and simple check of how children are doing between the ages of 3 to 4 years. It identifies, at an early stage, possible learning or health concerns so that children can get needed help before starting school. HERE is a video about Early Childhood Screening from MDE.

Tuition assistance is available, please check "yes" during registration if you would like a scholarship application emailed to you. We send & receive applications through Adobe Sign. This allows our families a secure paperless way to apply for tuition assistance. Income verification will need to be sent in a separate email to mjoy@c-ischools.org. Examples of income verification include your 1040 from the most recent tax return; W2's; a month's worth of paystubs; a free or reduced lunch letter or a statement from the county showing any assistance that is received. We are unable to process any applications without income verification. WE ALSO OFFER A PRESCHOOL ONLINE CLASS! We know that getting to preschool may not work for every family, so we want to share this opportunity to participate in preschool virtually. A licensed preschool teacher will prepare weekly activities and videos for your child to view at a time that is convenient for your family- evenings, weekends or daytime! We will also do a live circle time, where your child can interact with their teacher and classmates online. The State of Minnesota requires all children to participate in an Early Childhood Screening before they enter Kindergarten. Click here to schedule an appointment now!
