Programs for children and families

The Department of Community and Human Services supports a range of programs for children, families, and practitioners and providers. You can find childcare resources managed by the Children, Youth and Young Adults Division. In addition, the Developmental Disabilities and Early Childhood Supports Division outlines resources to support child development, and information for providers working in that space.

Early Support for Infants and Toddlers and Developmental Bridge

About 1 of every 8 children has a challenge with development that makes them eligible for Early Support for Infants and Toddlers (ESIT). With early support, most children catch up with their peers! ESIT supports children ages 0-3 and their families with milestones like walking, talking, eating, playing, and learning. Families gain skills and knowledge to support their child's needs.
