Get Connected!
Do you have questions or concerns about your child’s development?
That’s why we’re here! Build Up supports eligible preschoolers ages 3 through 5 with free services to help them learn and grow before kindergarten.
Every child learns at their own pace. When extra help is needed, it can make a big difference in how they learn and grow.
Your Build Up Coordinator will explain available resources, discuss next steps and, if eligible, connect you with special education services like speech therapy. Select your county in the drop-down to get in touch today.

CDC Developmental Milestones
When should your child be able to use a fork or comfort others
when they are hurt or sad? Since children grow and develop at
different rates, tracking their social, emotional and physical
milestones ensures you can act early if you have a concern.
Track your child’s growth from 2 months to 5 years of age! Learn the Signs. Act Early.
