NC Health Assessment

A health assessment is required to be on file when a child enters the NC Pre-K Program and the assessment may be no more than 12 months old at the time of entry. The health assessment must include the following:

• physical examination
• updated immunizations
• vision screening
• hearing screening

Forms that capture and report all required health information per NC Child Care Rule .3005 and are signed/dated by a health care provider will meet the requirements of the rule. The DCDEE Children's Medical Report collects all the required health information to include the vision, hearing and dental screenings. The NC Department of Instruction NC Health Assessment Transmittal Form (HAForm2016) collects all required health information except for the dental screening. If the HAForm2016 is used, a separate Dental Screening form will also need to be completed by a health care provider.
