👶 Bringing a Baby? We Have a Space for You!
You don’t need to wait until your baby can walk to join the fun!
We’re continuing our special focus on infants ages 0–12 months with a dedicated baby play space at our winter playdates.
Explore tummy time, reaching, rolling, visual tracking, early movement, and social interaction through play.
We’re collaborating with Early On to share developmental information and help families understand how everyday play supports growing skills.
How Is Your Child Growing?
Every child develops at their own pace!
Help Me Grow Livingston connects families with developmental screening opportunities, early childhood information, and local resources.
The Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) can help parents and caregivers learn about their child’s communication, movement, problem-solving, and social-emotional development.
Community Partners: Join the Winter Fun!
We’re inviting community organizations to join one or more Winter Playdates by providing hands-on activities, developmental resources, or family support information.
Deadline for inclusion in promotional materials: Monday, November 23, 2026.
