Are you wondering if your child’s speech or language development is on track? The Grande Prairie Public School Division (GPPSD) is offering screenings for children entering a GPPSD school this fall. These screenings help determine if your child may benefit from early support through our PUF Pre-Kindergarten program—a fun, play-based learning environment designed for children with developmental delays.

Your child may be eligible if they:
• Are 3 or 4 years old (by December 31, 2025)
• Will attend a GPPSD school for Kindergarten
