Accessible & Equitable for Everyone

Our website is at the heart of this lever and was designed to provide parents with resources and information. Through focus groups across the county, we were able to address the wants and needs of parents. The website provides a plethora of resources, tools, and informational articles, podcasts, and external website links for families with children ages birth through five. Originally available in English and Spanish, in 2020, the website was translated to include Korean, Vietnamese, and Chinese as well. This makes the Gwinnett Building Babies’ Brains website one of the few early learning resources in the county for parents and caregivers of children aged birth-to-five available in Gwinnett’s five most spoken languages.

The website has continued to evolve to meet the needs of our early learning communities. Numerous high-quality developmental checklists exist, but we were unable to find any that included a personalized list of resources based on the checklist information. This led to the creation of our Child Development Survey, designed to assist parents and caregivers in building their own personalized toolkits for navigating the website resources. Upon taking the survey, a personalized list of resources is provided that includes links to resources where support may be needed as well as general links that support all areas of development. While the survey pops up when anyone visits the website, it can also be accessed by scanning this QR Code:

Our website is also the perfect place for parents to find specific information from early learning educators, members of the medical community, and beyond. In addition to resource found by ages, parents can also read our Gwinnett Building Babies’ Brains Blog. New blog posts are rolled out with various perspectives and approaches to supporting our littlest learners.
