We all know that children do not learn the exact same skills at the exact same time. However, as a quality child care provider, you also recognize when a child is not developing skills as expected for their age. The good news is you don’t just have to watch and worry.

The Early Development Network (EDN) provides services to children birth through two years of age in all Nebraska School Districts. A concerned parent can contact their local school district to receive a free developmental evaluation to help them determine if their child is delayed in developing skills. When a child is eligible for EDN services, trained professionals will help families (and you) know the best way to help their child grow and learn.

All Nebraska school districts are obligated to provide services beginning at birth for children who meet eligibility criteria and demonstrate a need for early intervention. To make a referral, use the school district contact numbers below:
