Here you can find information about what milestones to expect from your preschooler (ages 3-5 years), in all areas of development. You will also find “red flags” that might indicate the need for follow up by a health professional.
Milestones discussed here include gross motor skills, fine motor skills, communication, eating & drinking, self-care, social & emotional, and understanding & thinking.
Red flags for Autism are also outlined.
Please keep in mind that children all develop at different rates, and that these milestones are meant to be used only as a guide in talking to your health professional.
If you have concerns about your child’s development at any time, please talk to your doctor, or to another health professional. You can contact our centre or make a referral to our centre at anytime.
R.E.S.T. Workshop
We received physiotherapy for our daughter who was being considered for a helmet for plagiocephaly. From our first appointment to our last, we received wonderful care. The staff at CTFRC were always very friendly, welcoming, and had a great spirit. The Physiotherapist was very kind, gentle and provided us with so much knowledge!
The outlet to have a professional available for help and advice and direction was key in our success, along with the tips, tools and education I received. They are so great at checking in and making sure I know there are supports, if necessary.
Having someone to talk me through the stages and calm my nerves about [my child's] development is what helped me the most. the sessions were always super informative and gave great advice on what to work on with [my child]. Just having the peace of mind that we were on the right track. I appreciate the service so much and I would recommend to any concerned parent!
