The first smile. Their first step. Waving bye-bye. Even raising a hand to give a high-five. These are all part of what are called developmental milestones. Children reach milestones as they play, learn, speak, act, and move. Developmental milestones are things most children (75% or more) can do by a certain age.*
Vroom believes all parents want what’s best for their children. Vroom joined with scientists, researchers, and parents to take the science out of the lab and put it in the hands of caregivers. Vroom provides science-based tips and tools to inspire families to turn shared, everyday moments into Brain Building Moments®, and it doesn’t require more time, money, or extra stuff.

These milestones are not a substitute for a standardized, validated developmental screening tool. These developmental milestones show what most children (75% or more) can do by each age. Subject matter experts selected these milestones based on available data and expert consensus. Milestones information published here is based on the information and guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). What is a Developmental Milestone? (n.d.).

Babies are born ready to learn. Researchers have discovered that between the ages of 0-5 years a child’s brain completes at least 90% of its growth. Learn how children’s development during this period prepares them for school and life-long success.
The science of early brain development can inform investments in early childhood. These basic concepts, established over decades of neuroscience and behavioral research, help illustrate why child development—particularly from birth to five years—is a foundation for a prosperous and sustainable society.
