Interactive Tools for Child Development

Childhood is filled with many accomplishments! Kids grow and change in so many ways. Starting at birth, your child will begin to reach milestones in how they play, learn, act and communicate.

Here are some helpful interactive tools for families to support and encourage their child's development:

Easily track and celebrate your child’s development from age 2 months to 5 years with photos and videos in the Milestone Tracker App, developed for the CDC’s “Learn the Signs. Act Early” program ” program. Learn more.

Using science-based tips, Vroom promotes child brain development in a way that is fun and easy for everyone. Learn more.

The Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) is a great way to understand the different types of skills your child may be developing, and how you can help them learn and grow. After a short screening, a Help Me Grow WA Resource Navigator will reach out to you about your child's results and may suggest additional supports. Learn more.
