CARE for Children will host a free Baby and Toddler Screening Day from 2 to 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 8 at the Ashley Booth Griffin CARE for Children Center on East Main Street.
The Screening Day will provide a developmental check-up for infants and toddlers, birth up to age three. Screenings will include fine and gross motor skills, language, vision and a social-emotional assessment. There will also be stations on safe sleep, tummy time, baby safety and other important developmental information.
“Developmental screenings are essential for babies and toddlers because early detection and treatment are key in helping children with deficits better reach their potential and provide a bridge to services for families with referrals to the early intervention system, as well as other agencies,” said Tina Martin, CARE executive director.
The screening day is not only for parents or caregivers who have developmental concerns for their child(ren), but for any parent or caregiver that wants to learn about milestones and how to help with young children’s development.
Children attending will receive a free developmental toy. Free transportation is available for families in Bradford in cooperation with ATA.
To register or for more information call CARE for Children at (814) 362-4621 or email reception@careforchildren.info. Advance registration is requested but not required.
