March marks Reading Awareness Month, a time to highlight the importance of reading and literacy for young children. For families in Nevada, this is an especially meaningful month as there are numerous local events, resources and initiatives that help promote early literacy.
As parents, we want the best for our children and their growth. From the moment they are born, we observe their every milestone with excitement. Developmental screenings play an essential role in ensuring that your child is progressing in all areas of development. Learn more about these important tools!
