Map to Early Start Services

Children grow and develop in truly remarkable ways from birth to age 5. It is important to pay special attention to how your child is developing during these early years of life to understand if they need any additional support. The best way to do this is to track your child’s developmental milestones — simple things, like taking a first step, smiling for the first time, and waving “bye-bye”. These milestones matter because if children do not reach milestones, or reach them much later than other children, it can be a helpful signal that they may need extra support to reach their full potential.

Early Start is the program in California that provides this support for infants and toddlers with developmental concerns. Support for Families and the SF Kids Collaborative have created a map to show you how to access these important Early Start services for your child.
