January is Child Development Month at the Family Resource Center

Because your child’s first 5 years of life are so important, we want to help you provide the best start for your child.

The Plainfield Family Resource Center would like to welcome you

to our early childhood screening program Ages and Stages. We

will sit with you and your child while you ask questions about some

things your child can and cannot do. As part of this service, we

provide the Ages & Stages Questionnaires®, Third Edition (ASQ-

3™), to help you keep track of your child’s development. The

questionnaire includes questions about your child’s

communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and

personal-social skills.

No one knows your child better than you- that’s why it’s

important for you to know and understand your child’s

developmental milestones.

To make an appointment call the Family Resource Center at 860-564-6411

Day and evening appointments are available
