Healthy Beginnings is a resource to help you nurture the tremendous potential for learning and growth that every child has… that every child is born with. Specifically designed for caregivers of infants and toddlers from birth through age three, Healthy Beginnings gives you knowledge and support around child care and child development, while our Activity Planner provides you with fun, developmentally appropriate activities that build young children’s skills and promote all kinds of learning.
Early learning standards define the key aspects of development and learning that are the foundation for a child’s school and life-long success. While the progress of children toward the standards will vary depending on a number of factors, the standards act as a guide for educational and programmatic decisions by child care providers, PRE-K-Grade 2 teachers, and public school administrators.
Maryland’s Early Learning Standards come from two different sources:
Healthy Beginnings: Supporting Development and Learning from Birth to Three Years of Age
Maryland College and Career-Ready Standards for the Pre-K through Grade 2 portion of the Pre-K to 12 Standards
The domains of learning included within the Maryland Early Learning Standards include Language and Literacy, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, Health, Physical Education, Fine Arts, and Social Foundations.

This MultiCare Health System video series features child development as explained by Dr. Glenn Tripp for children ages 2 months to 36 months.
