Helping Families Thrive, One Milestone at a Time

Our Early Childhood Development Program is here to help families and caregivers feel confident in supporting their child’s development. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, provider, or community partner, we believe every child deserves the best possible start in life and we’re here to connect you with the tools, resources, and support you need to ensure no child falls through the cracks.

What We Offer:

✔️ Developmental Screenings for Ages 0–5

We use the trusted Ages & Stages Questionnaires® (ASQ) to help families keep track of their child’s developmental milestones. These screenings are free, easy, and meant for all children—not just those with concerns.

✔️ Online Tools & Support

We make it simple to access and complete the ASQ with helpful links and 1:1 Zoom support, so families feel confident and supported every step of the way.

✔️ In-Person or Virtual Training for Providers & Community Partners

Working with families? We can provide training on how to introduce and guide them through the ASQ screening process.

✔️ Story Time Resource Bags

Fun, age-appropriate bags filled with tools and toys to promote learning and development—perfect for library story hours or family visits!

✔️ Personalized Connections to Local Resources

If a child needs additional support, we help connect families with early intervention services, parenting programs, and more—because it truly takes a village.

Let’s Work Together

Our Early Childhood Development Community Health Workers are available to meet with you—virtually or in person—to answer questions, provide materials, and brainstorm how we can best support the families you work with.
