Welcome

At CDR we help babies and toddlers with disabilities and developmental delays walk and talk, eat and play. We help keep those who are at risk for developmental delay safer and healthier. We help parents grow into their role as their child’s primary educator and teach them how to be the most important person in their child’s early education and development.

Child Development Resources, Inc. (CDR) is a 501(c)3 public charity that provides services to young children and families and training and technical assistance for the professionals who serve them. When you have questions about your baby or toddler call 566-TOTS! For more information on any of CDR's programs, please call 757-566-3300.

We are a United Way agency; together we raise private contributions to support services for infants and toddlers.

A Social and Emotional Resource Guide for Parents and Caregivers

Ready, Able, and Happy to Learn

What we all want is to help our children success in school and to grow up and have good jobs and happy lives. Experts say that if we want our young children to do well in school, we should be teaching them many things before they even get to kindergarten so that they'll be "ready to learn."

A Safety Quiz on Choking Hazards

This knowledge test was developed by Safety CAP: Children’s Asphyxiation Prevention Project, a project of the Virginia Department of Health, Preventing Unintentional Injuries Project

The Safety Cap project is designed to prevent asphyxiation and other unintentional injuries during sleep, feeding, and play in young children (birth through age 4), especially for families who are at-risk for child abuse and neglect, developmental delay, and poor health outcomes.
The activities of the project include:
· Develop a Home Safety Review that will assess home safety and educate families of children birth to 4 years of age.

· Conduct home visits that assess safety and educate families with children who are at-risk for poor health and development.

· Distribute equipment (e.g., portable cribs for safe sleep) and other safety materials.

· Present safety information and disseminate materials at parent group meetings.

· Provide early childhood and early intervention professionals with information and materials that will in turn educate additional families about safety.

Project Duration: March through August 2010
