OUR SERVICES
Progress Center provides developmental services for families of infants and toddlers, birth to three years old, in Cowlitz and Wahkiakum Counties.
In the first three years of life infants and toddlers absorb information similar to a dry sponge around water.
For a variety of reasons, some infants and toddlers fall behind in certain areas of development. To give
them the best possible chance of reaching their potential, early intervention is the key. 78% of brain
growth occurs by the age of three.
