Being a parent is one of the most exciting and wonderful times in our lives. And we know that the first five years of a child's life are the most important for future development. What happens in those first five years can make a difference for a lifetime. Click on a link below for a list of developmental milestones for children. As your child develops and grows they will amaze you with new abilities they have accomplished. All children grow at their own pace, this is just a guide that reflects the average developmental milestones a child may have.

Young children grow quickly and develop skills at different rates. If they cannot do something this week, they may be able to do it a few weeks later.

It is best to look at these skills as goals towards which to aim. Check the skills that your child has mastered then recheck every month to see what additional skills your child has accomplished.
