Developmental Screening Program
Our developmental screening program uses the Ages & Stages Questionnaire(ASQ:SE-2/ ASQ-3) to support families as they track their children’s development in an effort to promote healthy child development and promote school readiness. Between screenings, our staff will stay connected with the families by offering them fun activities they can do with their child, sharing parent education materials, and providing information about helpful community resources.

In these leadership trainings, youth gain knowledge of early brain development and First Aid/CPR, and creating a safe home environment for their younger siblings.
