school physicals
physicals for school, sports & every stage
Children may need a pediatric physical for many reasons throughout the year. Whether it’s for school enrollment, daycare, sports participation, summer camp, or another activity, Here We Grow Pediatrics can provide the appropriate exam and help complete the required health forms.
A physical is also an opportunity to check in on your child’s overall health. Depending on your child’s age and the reason for the visit, we may review their medical history, monitor growth, perform an age-appropriate physical exam, and complete recommended vision, hearing, developmental, or other health screenings.
School and Daycare Physicals – We can complete required examinations and health forms for school or childcare enrollment.
Sports Physicals – Sports physicals help assess your child’s health and identify concerns that could affect safe participation in athletics.
Camp and Activity Physicals – If your child needs medical clearance or paperwork for camp or another activity, our team can review the requirements, perform the appropriate evaluation, and complete the necessary forms.
Our goal is to make school, sports, daycare, and camp physicals as convenient as possible for families. Please bring any required forms along with relevant health or immunization records so we can help complete everything as smoothly as possible.
what happens during a school physical?
A Well Child Check is an opportunity to check your child’s overall health and make sure they’re ready for school, sports, daycare, camp, or other activities.
We’ll start by reviewing your child’s medical history, medications, allergies, and any personal or family health concerns. The exam is tailored to your child’s age and needs and may include checking height, weight, blood pressure, vision, and hearing, along with an examination of the heart, lungs, abdomen, and other areas of physical health. Recommended screenings and assessments vary by age.
We’ll review your child’s immunization record and discuss any recommended vaccines that are due. If the visit is for school, sports, daycare, camp, or another program, please bring any required forms so we can complete the appropriate documentation.
Your child’s Well Child Check is also dedicated time for you to ask questions. Whether you have concerns about growth, development, exercise, nutrition, sleep, or overall well-being, we welcome the conversation.
At Here We Grow Pediatrics, our goal is to make every pediatric physical thorough, comfortable, and convenient for your family.
why are well-child checks so important?
Well-child checks are about much more than completing a form or meeting a school requirement. These regular visits allow our pediatric team to follow your child’s health over time, provide preventive care, and support healthy growth and development at every stage.
During a well-child check, we review your child’s medical history, growth, development, immunizations, and age-appropriate health needs. We also look for concerns that may not always be obvious and talk with you about topics such as nutrition, sleep, physical activity, school, behavior, and emotional well-being.
Just as importantly, a well-child visit gives you dedicated time to talk with your pediatrician. Whether you’ve noticed a change in your child’s health or simply have questions about what to expect at their age, we want you to feel comfortable bringing those concerns to us.
Our goal is to help you understand your child’s health, recognize concerns early, and know what to expect as they grow.

what’s the difference between a well-child check and a sports physical?
Both a well-child check and a sports physical include an evaluation of your child’s health, but they serve different purposes.
A well-child check is a comprehensive preventive visit focused on your child’s overall health, growth, development, and well-being. Depending on your child’s age, it may also include recommended screenings, immunizations, and guidance about nutrition, physical activity, sleep, and other aspects of healthy development.
A sports physical focuses more specifically on whether your child can safely participate in athletic activities. We’ll ask about the sports your child plays, their activity level, and any history of injuries, pain, breathing problems, fainting, chest symptoms, or other concerns during exercise.
When scheduling a sports physical, please let us know which sport or activity your child participates in and bring any required forms.
Can a Sports Physical Be Done at a Well-Child Check?
Yes. We can usually complete your child’s sports physical as part of their well-child visit. This is often the most convenient option because it allows us to address both your child’s overall health and any sports participation requirements at the same visit.
Insurance coverage for well-child visits and sports physicals varies by plan, so our team can help clarify what may apply to your child’s visit.
If your child needs a physical for school, sports, daycare, camp, or another activity, let us know when scheduling so we can make sure the visit includes the appropriate evaluation and paperwork.
