From birth to age 5, your child should reach milestones in how s/he plays, learns, speaks, acts, and moves. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has established specific milestones that you can use to track your child's development and act early if you have a concern. They also have materials for parents and various information on milestones.
