Olentangy's Penguin Pathway Screening

The Penguin Pathway screenings are offered by Olentangy Local Schools as a resource to parents who have developmental concerns for their child or want their child to be considered as a peer model. Children may participate in the screening if they are a resident of the Olentangy Local School District and are between 3 and 5 years old.

The Penguin Pathway screening is facilitated by Olentangy Preschool staff in a preschool classroom. Children will engage in a variety of activities that provide information about a child's current development in the areas of motor, language, concept, self-help and social-emotional development.

The screening will last 60-75 minutes in length and will be held at one of our preschool locations. Parents will attend an informational meeting while your child is being screened.

Screening results will be communicated via phone or email within two weeks of the screening date. Results may show the child’s development is age-appropriate and no follow-up is needed OR the child has a potential delay indicating additional follow-up is needed and the next step. Results of a screening do not guarantee admittance/eligibility to attend Olentangy’s Special Needs Preschool.

To schedule a screening, please fill out the Penguin Pathway Interest Form. A team member will reach out to you via phone or email to schedule your child's in-person screening.
