Put your mind at ease and give your child the help he or she may need by calling Early On® Oakland at
248.209.2084 or Toll Free at 866.456.2084. Early On® Oakland is a system of services for children from
birth to three years of age, who have developmental delays or established health conditions. Early On®
Oakland will help you find the individual support that your child and family need.
Early On® Oakland Information
Community Education Centers Babies and toddlers learn at different rates – some
faster, some slower. But, if a little voice inside your
head is telling you something isn't “quite right,” don't
wait for help. The first years of a child's life are too
important to let slip by, waiting to see if your little one
“outgrows” your concern.
