How it works

Use playtime to track development

Receive the Ages & Stages Questionnaire® (ASQ®) every 2-6 months to help you monitor your child’s development. The ASQ® is fun and simple and lets you use playtime to watch for key milestones.

Connect with your children

Our parent newsletter, social media and child psychology resources offer the information parents need to feel more confident about their parenting skills.

Have a direct line of support

Got questions or unexpected challenges? Our Family Support Navigators are a phone call or email away and can offer the exact support, tips and access to community resources you need.

Ages and Stages® Questionnaires

Kids learn more in the first five years of life than at any other time. The ASQ® is a quick and easy way to make sure your child is developing on time and without issues. If there are delays, we catch them early and help your child get the resources needed to thrive.

Check out this sample ASQ® to see how easy it is!

What parents are saying

“I have the first-time mom jitters. Instead of getting upset at myself or my daughter, Connections puts me at ease.”

—Connections Mom

“My daughter was slow at walking and Connections gave me so many different activities to do with her. I did them every day and by the end of the month, my baby girl was walking!”

—Connections Mom

“From the day I took my child home I asked myself, ‘What am I going to do?’ After receiving help from the Connections program, they taught me that everything would be okay, I’m a good mother, and that I’m doing well. They walked with me every step of the way to help my daughter reach those milestone moments in her life!”

—Connections Mom
