Understanding your child’s growth can bring both confidence and peace of mind. These resources offer helpful guidance on developmental milestones and what to expect at each stage:

These tools can help you better understand your child’s development and identify areas where extra support may be beneficial.

Community & Family Support

If you ever have concerns about your child’s development or need additional support, there are wonderful (and free!) local resources available. Listed are the two primary age-based options:

  • Babies Can’t Wait: Georgia’s statewide early intervention program for children birth to age 3 with developmental delays. Free evaluations are available, and services can be provided in partnership with our MMO program. » CLICK HERE

  • Oconee County Public Schools: Offers developmental screenings and services for children age 3-5 who may have delays in speech, motor development, etc. Free Child Find screenings are available monthly at Colham Ferry Elementary School and include hearing, vision, speech, and developmental assessments. If a child is already in Babies Can’t Wait, they transition services seamlessly to Oconee County schools the day they turn 3. » CLICK HERE‍ ‍

These services can help identify needs early and connect your family with the right support.

Support for Physical & Financial Needs

We understand that families may face different seasons, and support is available when needed:
