  • Step 1: I have concerns about my child, but I am not sure what is considered a typical development. 
    Please see the link to the right labeled "Developmental Milestones".  There you will find a few resources to help you learn the skills most children accomplish at a given age.

    Step 2: I have reviewed the Developmental Milestone resources and still have questions.  Who do I call? 
    If your child is aged 3 - 5 years of age, and you live in Cumberland County, we invite you to contact us at 910.484.6761.  You will find our contact information if you click on the box above labeled "Staff Directory". Screening may help to determine if more comprehensive testing is needed.  Early-In conducts developmental screenings on a monthly basis.  You may request an appointment for a screening when you call.

    If your child is aged 3 - 5 years, and you live on Ft. Liberty or in the Linden Oaks area, call:
