About us

Clear answers for families, during the years that matter most.

Stars Assessment Center provides early childhood developmental assessments for all children under the age of 3 years in San Benito, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz counties.

A developmental assessment center for families

Questions about a child's development can feel overwhelming. Whether you are noticing delays in speech, movement, behavior, or milestones, families deserve answers that are clear, compassionate, and trustworthy.

Stars Assessment Center grew out of years of supporting infants, toddlers, and families across Northern California, and of seeing how much early support can mean. It is a dedicated developmental assessment center, focused on helping families gain clarity during the most important years of early growth.

Every child develops in their own way. Our role is to provide thoughtful assessments, clear next steps, and a supportive experience that helps families feel informed.
