The program’s goal is to support parents as their children grow and develop. Birth to Three works closely with families and school districts to ensure a smooth transition to pre-kindergarten services at age 3.

EdAdvance Birth to Three is a comprehensive, early intervention program. We provide full developmental evaluations and early intervention services to children who experience significant developmental delays and provides support to their parents as their children grow and develop.
Individualized services are directed at sharing strategies with families, which enhance their child’s development, and are incorporated into their child’s natural daily routines and activities. Intervention services are provided in the child’s most natural environment.
