Child Find

Who should contact Child Find?

  • You should contact Child Find if you have a child whose birthday makes them eligible for preschool (3 Year old on the day they will start preschool) and you have concerns or questions about their development.  This service is free for families.
    • For information or questions regarding Child Find, please call 720-554-4001.
    • To receive more information about appointments and the Child Find process, please call out Intake Specialist Sana Naviz at 720-554-4021.
    • If your child currently has an IEP and you are moving into the Cherry Creek School District or previously deferred services and are interested in special education in preschool, please contact Cynthia Belt at 720-554-4001.

What happens at Child Find?

  • Cherry Creek School District's (CCSD) Child Find teams are recognized by the state of Colorado for their expert use of Play-Based assessment techniques. Your child will experience the assessment process as a play session.
  • Child Find screens children's skills and if there is a suspected delay that may impact the child's ability to learn at preschool, Child Find evaluators will offer to do a formal Special Education evaluation. If the formal Special Education evaluation indicates your child does need support in preschool, Child Find will write an Individualized Education Plan (IEP).
