About Cairn
Cairn Inc. builds developmental guidance for the people who spend the most time with young children: their parents.
Most early childhood tools tell families what a child should be doing by a certain age, then leave them there. Cairn starts from where a child actually is and gives caregivers something concrete to do this week — inside the routines they already have.
Why we built it
Too many families reach a developmental concern and wait. Waiting for an appointment, a referral, an evaluation. That time matters more between birth and age five than it ever will again.
Cairn exists to give families something useful immediately, and to connect them to formal evaluation when that's the right next step.
Who We Are
Cairn Inc. is a California corporation founded by Amanda Daly, a licensed speech-language pathologist, early intervention specialist, feeding therapist, and lactation consultant with direct experience serving families through California's early intervention system.
Our developmental content is built on published milestone research and established early childhood frameworks, organized so caregivers can act on it.
