We are ready to help your family overcome obstacles that may have interfered with or slowed down your young child’s development

We have a multidisciplinary team and we individually assign the resources that your child needs.

  • Early Childhood Teachers and Specialists

  • Physical Therapists (PT)

  • Occupational Therapists (OT)

  • Speech and Language Pathologists (SLP)

  • Nurse Consultations

As part of the California Early Start program, we receive most of our funding from Valley Mountain Regional Center (they are funded and monitored by State and Federal agencies).

Potential Causes

Problems with infant-toddler development can occur for a variety of reasons, and we try to be prepared and helpful from a variety of perspectives and professional training.

  • Extreme prematurity

  • Exposure to toxins

  • Extended hospitalization

  • Emotional trauma

  • Weak muscles

  • Difficulty attending

  • Lack of imitation skills

  • Delayed language

  • Repetitive behaviors

Collage: infant care, toddlers feeding, child wheelchair

Any of these causes and more can be reason for developmental difficulties or concerns. Extensive research in early intervention has shown that children have a better chance of success in school when problems are addressed at younger ages. Parents, too, can reduce their stress and worry when they reach out for help and/or reassurance. Babies and toddlers are evaluated, and if they are demonstrating significant delays in at least one of six primary areas (see Services page), they are qualified for California Early Start funding.

Our Approach to "Early Start" and
Our Family-Centered Approach to Early Development

ABove the Clouds was created by OneTwoThree, LLC to specifically meet the requirements and needs of the  CA Early Start program  in Stanislaus County.  We are one of several comprehensive programs in our county providing the individualized therapeutic services Early Start requires. Parents and Service Coordinators have choices and we are one of those. As such, we strive to be the most trustworthy, effective, kind and fun!
Though children receiving our services need not be qualified for or enrolled in Early Start, determining eligibility is highly encouraged. Early Start enrollment provides families with added benefits, including service coordination support, transition to preschool services, and access to full funding for our eligible birth to three therapies.
ABove the Clouds has been shaped by a national movement that began in the 1980s to identify and reduce developmental challenges as early as possible—especially during the important infant and toddler years. We continue to emphasize parent choice and education, coordinated teamwork across disciplines, and play‑based therapy provided in a child’s natural environment, such as the home or community.
In addition to our Early Start services, OneTwoThree, LLC is open to other partnerships and contracts that align with our mission of supporting young children and enhancing the experience and success of their families.
