Milestone Moments
Helping parents and caregivers understand and support early childhood development.
Every milestone matters — and parents are their child’s first teachers.
Milestone Moments is a free educational program from Early Motion Matters that provides clear, evidence-informed guidance on developmental milestones, practical caregiver tips, and trusted resources to support children from birth through age five.
Our goal is to make sure every parent feels equipped, supported, and connected as their child grows.
Why Milestone Education Matters
Children grow and learn in many interconnected ways — how they move, communicate, think, and connect with others. Developmental milestones help caregivers understand typical patterns of growth and recognize when it may be helpful to ask questions or seek guidance.
Milestones are guides, not tests. Every child develops at their own pace, and variation is normal. Having reliable information can help families feel more confident observing development and supporting growth through everyday routines and play.
Research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that developmental disabilities affect approximately 1 in 6 children in the United States, highlighting the importance of early observation and open communication with healthcare providers.
