Regular developmental checks play a pivotal role in understanding how well your child is growing across physical, social, emotional, and speech domains. From the first newborn check to childhood developmental assessments, these visits help ensure your child is meeting expected milestones and allow early identification of issues that might benefit from intervention. We also monitor for common childhood conditions such as respiratory infections, fevers, allergy symptoms, eczema, and asthma.
As part of Singapore’s Childhood Developmental Screening (CDS) programme, eligible Singapore Citizen children can receive fully subsidised developmental assessments at our clinic when performed according to the national schedule. This screening complements the National Childhood Immunisation Schedule (NCIS), allowing your child’s vaccinations and developmental checks to be completed together in one visit.
At Little Haven Family Clinic, families enrolled in the Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) can benefit from subsidised consultations, vaccinations, and developmental checks, ensuring accessible and holistic care.
