ABOUT THIS SESSION

Every child develops at their own pace, but how do you know what’s typical and when a child might need extra support? This session will provide a practical, research-based understanding of child development from infancy to preschool. Dayhome providers will gain confidence in recognizing key developmental milestones, understanding when additional support might be needed, and learning how to foster healthy development through play and daily interactions.

What You’ll LEARN:

  • Major developmental domains – Speech & language, motor skills, social-emotional growth, and cognitive development
  • What’s expected at different ages – Typical milestones from infancy through preschool
  • The range of normal – Understanding variability in development and when to monitor progress
  • When to take action – Recognizing when a child might need extra support and how to respond
  • The provider’s role – How to encourage development through play, interactions, and a supportive environment

May 15 | Session 2: Typical Development – What to Expect & When to Take Action

Every child develops at their own pace, but how do you know what’s typical and when a child might need extra support?

Dayhome providers will gain confidence in recognizing key developmental milestones and when support may be needed.

May 26 | Session 3: Benefits of Ages & Stages (ASQ)

This session will focus on understanding key developmental milestones from infancy to preschool and how to track and support development in a dayhome setting. Providers will also learn how to effectively use the Ages & Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) as a screening tool.

June 11 | Session 4: Supporting Neurodiverse Children in a Dayhome Setting

Caring for neurodiverse children in a dayhome setting comes with unique challenges and rewards. In this session, we will explore practical, real-life strategies to create a supportive and inclusive environment for children with autism, ADHD, and sensory processing differences. 

June 24 | Session 5: Navigating Hard Conversations

Bringing up developmental concerns with parents can feel uncomfortable, but dayhome providers play a crucial role in a child’s support system. This session will help providers overcome the belief that it’s “not their place” to communicate concerns, emphasizing that while providers don’t diagnose, they do observe children every day and can offer insights.
