Early Stages is an evaluation center for children aged 2 years 8 months to 5 years 10 months. We identify delays and disabilities that may impact a child's education. Early Stages is a program of DC Public Schools (DCPS). All our services are FREE.

Early Stages can evaluate any DC child who is not attending a DCPS school, including DC children who are homeschooled. We can also evaluate children who are not DC residents if they attend a private school or child care center in DC. We cannot evaluate children enrolled in public charter schools.
