Early Intervention

Babies and toddlers learn and grow in different ways. Some need a little extra help.

This is where Early Intervention comes in. Working with our community partners, we provide many different services to support kids from birth to age three — at no cost to parents. We help children develop:

  • Physical skills like crawlingwalkingreaching and drawing.
  • Thinking skills like learning and solving problems.
  • Communication skills like talkinglistening and understanding.
  • Doing things on their own, like eating or getting dressed.
  • Social and emotional skills, like making friends and playing with others.

If you think your child needs additional support in any of these childhood development areas, Early Intervention might be right for your family.

How to Care for Infants and Toddlers in Groups

Out-of-home child care for infants and toddlers, if done well, can enrich children’s early experience. It can also be a therapeutic component of services to at-risk children, providing a safe and consistent base for protection, prevention, and treatment.
