Let's put 2020 behind us and hope that 2021 is a far better, healthier and happier year for all.
We believe children need strong foundation to help them grow socially, emotionally and cognitively. Parents are an integral part of that early foundation. At Preferred Parenting we believe parents benefit by receiving tools to enable them to be the best parent possible.

We offer the SEAM social/ emotional assessment for children ages 2- 66 months of age. It is highly recommended that all children be screened on a regular basis to determine if they are developing and growing appropriately. Parents are instructed on how to administer the screening (it takes under 15 minutes to do), then return the assessment to us where it is scored. You will receive a written assessment of the results. Should it indicate there are some concerns, you will be referred to your pediatrician or other professional.
