Babies Can't Wait:

Babies Can’t Wait (BCW) is Georgia’s early intervention program that offers a variety of coordinated services for infants and toddlers with special needs, from birth to three years-of-age and their families. The purpose of BCW is to:

  • Provide early identification and screening of children with developmental delays and chronic health conditions.
  • Improve the developmental potential of infants and toddlers birth to age three, with developmental or chronic health conditions.
  • Support family members and caregivers to enhance children's learning and development through everyday learning opportunities

Cloth Face Coverings to Help Slow the Spread

A cloth face covering should be worn whenever people are in a community setting where social distancing may be difficult and especially in areas of widespread community transmission of COVID-19. Cloth face coverings help slow the spread of the virus.
