HELPFUL RESOURCES
Is your child developmentally on track?
Families with children between the ages of 2 months and 5 years residing in Lapeer County School Districts can complete a FREE Ages and Stages (ASQ-3) Developmental Screening, or Social-Emotional Screening (if you have behavior concerns). It only takes 10 minutes to complete and you will receive your results via email or phone within a week. Developmental screenings can identify your child’s strengths, uncover new milestones to celebrate, and reveal any areas where your child may need support.
First Steps for Families
Are you looking for information about early childhood programs but unsure which program(s) may be right for your family? Complete a short survey, based on the information you provide, we will connect you with local programs best suited to meet your family's needs.
