Welcome to our Wayne RESA Early Childhood web pages. Please take a few minutes and surf around on some of our hotlinks.

Our Great Parents calendar is loaded monthly with sites in many Wayne County communities where you and your child(ren) can visit and participate in fun, free and appropriate activities.

If you are concerned about your child's development, look at our Early On page and send us a referral so we may assist you with a referral and connection to services for children under the age of three. Remember the mantra for Early On, 'Don't worry, but don't wait."

Our resources section is designed with a little bit of every child birth to age 5 in mind. You can visit hotlinks that will help you connect to information whether it baby e-bay or learning more about brain development.

The directories are now available as hotlinks. We have stopped producing them in a paper format. Edits are made regularly and hopefully the numbers are accurate. If you find one that is out of date, please email us at kaminsk@resa.net and we will make the change.

READY KIts are only free for newborns from Wayne RESA. We are handing them out at newborn baby homevisits. If you know of a newborn residing in Wayne County birth to 3months in age, please call our WELCOME BABY program to set up a free home visit. 313-531-2500 X2110.

Wayne RESA is a partner with the Great Start Collaborative Wayne grant from the Early Childhood Investment Corporation (ECIC). Learn more about the Collaborative in Wayne County by visiting our Collaborative website at www.greatstartcollaborativewayne.org.

Our latest Early Childhood newsletter is called Start Early Finish Strong. To receive a copy, please email your address to Lena. We are no longer doing the Wonder Years newsletter, however all back issues and development guides are available through the hotlink labeled, Wonder Years.
