Infant Development Program
What do we do?
If you are concerned or have questions about your child’s development (age 0 to 3), we can help.
We serve families with children from birth to 3 years old who are at risk, or who already have a delay, or have a diagnosed disability.
Why do we work with children who are so little?
Skills children learn between the ages 0 to 3 are the building blocks for their later development and school readiness.
What areas of development can we help you with?
- Eating
- Talking
- Playing
- Crawling

- Sleeping
- Walking
- Sitting
