From birth to age five, children go through various developmental milestones in areas such as play, learning, speech, behavior, and movement. This app is designed to help parents effortlessly track these milestones using engaging photos and videos, making the experience both informative and enjoyable. The app currently includes English content, and additional Spanish resources will be available soon, ensuring accessibility for a wider audience.
One of the app's key features is its ability to add personalized information for one or multiple children, allowing parents to customize their experience. The interactive milestone tracker enables users to monitor their child’s development by providing an easy-to-navigate checklist of important milestones. Each milestone is accompanied by visual aids in the form of photos and videos, helping parents recognize these achievements in their own child.
In addition to tracking milestones, the app provides helpful tips and activities aimed at fostering a child’s development at every stage. It also guides parents on when it may be necessary to "act early" and seek professional advice regarding any developmental concerns. Another important feature is the ability to manage and keep track of your child’s medical appointments, including reminders for essential developmental screenings, ensuring that no important check-up is missed.
Finally, the app offers milestone summaries that can be shared with healthcare providers, enabling better communication about a child’s development. While the app serves as a helpful tool for monitoring milestones, it is important to note that it does not replace the need for standardized developmental screening tools. The milestones are based on expert consensus and data indicating what most children can achieve by specific ages. Additionally, CDC ensures that no personal information is collected or shared, prioritizing user privacy.
