Preschool Vision Screening
Members of the Cleveland Sight Center visited Early Steps Learning Center to conduct vision screenings with all of our Preschool children today. Children were asked to identify pictures that they had been shown beforehand and all received a sticker once they were done! All children were given a “report” of their screening and referred for follow-up care with an eye doctor if necessary. Thank you, Cleveland Sight Center, for your time and care with our preschoolers!
