Time for a checkup!
Quick reminder to schedule your child’s yearly physical exam. This is important to do yearly to track your child’s growth and development and to make sure their vaccines are up to date. Don’t wait until the last minute to ensure you can obtain the appointment day/time that works for your schedule. Make sure to bring along any school or camp forms you need completed.
