Early Education at Framingham Public Schools continues to evolve with program and placement expansion aligned to the Pre-Kindergarten Strategic Plan and the vision for Universal Pre-K.

If you suspect your child may have a disability in any area, including: learning, social, language or gross/fine motor development, a Special Education Screening will assist in determining if further/formal assessment of skills in any area is warranted.

Screenings take place at BLOCKS Preschool at 29 Upper Joclyn Ave and take approximately 45 minutes. If you would like to schedule a preschool screening, please contact: Donna Angus at (508) 782-6990 or email: dangus@framingham.k12.ma.us.
