LookSee Checklist (formerly NDDS)  for Child Care Professionals

The activities on the back of the LookSee Checklist are designed to support child development in different areas. Each activity promotes a key area of development and is identified by a symbol. For example, this symbol identifies activities that support speech and language skills:

Children might do well in one area but lag a little in another area. Add these activities to what you have been doing and encourage parents to do the same.

The LookSee Checklist can help you to:

• Learn more about a child’s development
• Be aware of a child’s skills and abilities
• Identify areas of a child’s development that might need extra attention
• Identify community services that will support a child’s development that can be shared with parents

The checklists are currently available in English, French, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Arabic, Russian and Farsi. You can find copies in these languages at lookseechecklist.com (external link) or contact Halton Region for print copies for families at your centre or school.

If one or more "No" boxes have been checked, or parents have questions or concerns about their child's health or development, then encourage the child’s family to seek help by calling 311. Our staff will discuss the concerns, suggest activities and, if needed, link families to additional services that will help meet their child's needs.
