Early Childhood Intervention
Life Changes
Changes happen all the time. Parents change jobs, families move to different neighborhoods, or a new baby arrives in the family. This program can provide children and families with additional insight and can help your child both emotionally and socially.
The Early Childhood Intervention can help your child:
- Adjust to new environments
- Adjust to new peers
- Handle being away from a caregiver for the first time
