Celebrate Families - Birth to 3 Program

Welcome

We offer a variety of services for families with young children residing within the D200 boundaries. We believe parents are the first and most important teachers for their child(ren). Our programs are free to D200 families.

We are a Parents as Teachers Program. We aim to support parents during pregnancy and the first five years of life through education and resources. We begin working with families during pregnancy.

We offer developmental screenings, home visits, playgroups, family events, a teen parent program, and more. See more details about the program below, and feel free to contact our program director Kristin Baldwin with questions.

Developmental Screenings
Free development screening is a valuable tool that can show you where your child is developmentally, and what milestones the child will be working on next.

Parent-Child Family Nights
Spend a fun evening with your child each month where you play, learn and help keep your family strong. Each month the parents will be provided with meaningful information on their child’s growth and development. We will talk about discipline issues, education, etc.

Parent Resource Library
Check out books on parenting, autism and early childhood topics such as: developmental milestones, toilet training and behavioral concerns. The Parent Library is located in Room 28 at Verda Dierzen.
