Early Intervention
Small Steps Today, Brighter Possibilities Tomorrow
At Daffodils Child Development Centre, we support infants and young children from birth to 4 years who have developmental delays, disabilities, or concerns about their development.Through personalised, play-based intervention, we help children build essential skills while equipping parents with practical strategies to support progress at home.

- Speech and Language Delays: Difficulty understanding language or communicating needs.
- Motor Delays: Challenges with sitting, crawling, standing, walking, or coordination.
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): Support for communication, play, interaction, and everyday participation.
- Neurological or Genetic Conditions: Developmental support tailored to each child’s needs.

When Should You Seek Support?
Consider an assessment if your child:
- Is not meeting developmental milestones.
- Has difficulty communicating or interacting.
- Struggles with movement, play, or everyday activities.
- Has lost skills they previously acquired.
You do not need to wait for a formal diagnosis to seek help. An assessment can help you understand your child’s strengths, identify support needs, and plan the next steps.
