What is a Milestone?

A milestone refers to a skill that most children learn by a certain age. One example is that most children learn to walk around 12 months of age. Milestones are general ranges: some children meet them before the “milestone age” and others after. Instead of just worrying that your child “hasn’t met” a milestone, we will teach you to help your baby strengthen and learn the many little skills that come before each big skill in the first year. We’re here with you to celebrate all the little victories that lead up to the big milestones and beyond.
