As parents, we all want to make sure our little ones are on track to reach their full potential. Early childhood is a critical time for development, and understanding how your child is growing can help you provide the support they need. That’s why United Way of Champaign County, Birth-5 Illinois, and the Champaign County Home Visiting Consortium are offering free developmental screenings for children from birth to five years old.
These screenings assess key areas like communication, social interactions, and motor skills, giving families valuable insights into their child’s progress. If you’re a parent or caregiver in Champaign County, this is a fantastic opportunity to check in on your child’s development and connect with helpful resources!
