Early Intervention Services-Even though each child develops at his/her own pace, your child should be able to do many of the same things other children are doing. Please call 694-3232 if you have concerns about your child’s speech, behaviors, cognitive skills, motor skills if your child was born prematurely, or any other concerns regarding your child’s development.

WIC Program-A nutrition program for pregnant and postpartum women, infants, and children up to age 5 that helps families eat well and stay healthy. The WIC program provides nutrition education, vouchers to buy healthy foods, and connections to health services. Call 218-983-6235 or 218-983-6232 for more information.

Help Me Grow provides resources for families to understand developmental milestones and learn if there are concerns. This helps families take the lead in seeking additional support or referring their child for a comprehensive, confidential screening or evaluation at no cost. Help Me Grow is an interagency initiative of the State of Minnesota Department of Education, Department of Health, and Department of Human Services. We partner with all local service agencies.
