Check & Connect clinics provide a supportive space where you can work with an early childhood educator to check in on your child’s development.

Middlesex EarlyON offers quarterly Check & Connect drop-in clinics during regularly scheduled Play & Learn programs (children 0-6 years and caregivers) and Baby Time programs (children 0-12 months and caregivers).  These clinics provide a supportive space where you can work with an early childhood educator to check in on your child’s development in key areas such as communication, social skills, motor skills, and problem-solving. Identify your child’s strengths, uncover new milestones to celebrate, and reveal any areas where your child may need support.  Free and open to all families.
