The B4 School Check is a free health and development check for your 4 year old tamariki. It's their final Well Child Tamariki Ora check.
If your child has turned 4, they are due for their B4 School Check now. If you are yet to hear from your local B4 School Check provider it's important you contact them to make a booking.
It's a good idea for your child to have their B4 School Check soon after their 4th birthday. That leaves enough time for your child to get any help needed before they start school.
