The future of a child’s development can start with you!
As children grow, they reach developmental milestones in how they play, learn, speak, act, move and socialize with others. Keep in mind, children develop and grow at their own pace, so it can be difficult to tell exactly when a child will learn a given skill. Become familiar with all the developmental milestones on the CDC’s website.
Inclusion in Child Care Toolkit
Michigan families need access to more child care centers that are equipped to accommodate children of all abilities. Child care providers require access to resources, strategies and tools to help them provide inclusive child care that allows children of all abilities to feel safe and supported, meet their developmental milestones and learn together.
The Inclusive Learning Toolkit materials found on this page will help you and your team provide high-quality inclusive child care. They help effectively communicate the benefits of this care to current and prospective parents and guardians.
