Why should you consider taking a microcredential class with Eden Prairie Community Education in partnership with UGotClass (LERN Courses) to earn a digital badge?What is microcredentialling?-Microcredentials are short, flexible, asynchronous learning opportunities that allow you to learn at your own pace, on your own schedule. Each course focuses on a specific skill or topic, and upon successful completion, you receive a recognized badge that validates your learning and can be included on your résumé, LinkedIn profile, or professional portfolio. What are badges?-Upon successful completion, learners earn a digital badge, a verified online credential that demonstrates their newly acquired skills. These badges can be shared with employers or added to a résumé or LinkedIn profile and are securely stored through a platform called Credly. What is the benefit of upskilling or mastering content with taking micro-credential classes?-Whether you're looking to upskill, pivot to a new career, deepen your knowledge, or simply challenge yourself with something new, our microcredential courses offer flexible, asynchronous learning in topics ranging from AI and bookkeeping to social media marketing, coding, business, communication, and wellness. Learners can explore individual topics or complete a series of related courses to earn a professional certificate in a specialized area.

Please bring your child's Birth Certificate & current Immunizations What age should my child be screened at? If your child is between the ages of 3 and 5, it is time to schedule his/her Early Childhood Screening to check all areas of development including hearing, vision, speech, and motor abilities. What if my child has already been screened? If a child has been screened and the parent or guardian can provide sufficient documentation that demonstrates that a comparable screening has been completed, even if the screening was completed in another state, that child does not need to be re-screened. A screening is considered comparable to Early Childhood Screening if it meets the Minnesota ECS program standards and was completed between the time a child turned three and entered kindergarten, or within 30 days of kindergarten entrance. Please have your previous district send the screening summary one of these ways: Email: EPS_LittleEagles@edenpr.org Mail: Eden Prairie Community Education Attn: Early Childhood Screening 8100 School Road, Eden Prairie, MN 55344 Fax: 952-975-6920 What information is gathered at screening?
