As parents, we all wonder: is my child growing and learning the way they should? Developmental milestones are the everyday skills children tend to gain within a certain age range, and they are a helpful guide for celebrating progress and knowing what to look for next.
Milestones are things most children can do by a certain age – a first smile, a first step, a first word. They usually fall into a few areas of development:
A milestone checklist is only a guide. Some children reach a skill a little earlier and some a little later – and that is perfectly normal. What matters most is steady progress over time.
Our caregivers gently observe each child during everyday play and routines – mealtimes, story time, songs, outdoor play and rest. We record what your child is achieving and share regular updates through daily diaries and progress reports, so you always know how your little one is growing.
If you ever have a question about your child’s development, please talk to us. We are always happy to share what we see and to partner with you in giving your child the best possible start.
