We Work With Many Insurances
Unity Behavioral Services was born from a simple belief: every child's path is unique.
Our current education system looks more like a factory line than a place for children to thrive. As parents ourselves, we couldn't find programs that met our standards — so we built one.
Our team brings decades of experience and a global perspective, drawing from the best developmental philosophies around the world to create the Unity Methodology. Rooted in every child's individual path, it's evidence-based, family-centered, and designed to help every child thrive.
We don't follow a script;
we ignite a spark.
We meet families wherever they are on their journey.
Whether you are seeking clarity, needing guidance, building skills, or advocating for your child's education. Every program is personalized, family-centered, and designed to evolve as your child grows.
Unity Behavioral Services v CDC
By age one, babies begin to explore the world with curiosity and purpose. They play simple games like pat-a-cake, wave “bye-bye,” and start using familiar names like “mama” or “dada.” They understand “no,” search for hidden toys, and experiment with putting objects in containers. Physically, they pull up to stand, take supported steps, and use their fingers to grasp tiny items. This stage marks the start of independence and joyful discovery.

By age two, children begin to notice others’ emotions and look to adults for cues in new situations. They combine simple words like “more milk,” point to pictures and body parts, and use gestures to express themselves. They explore with both hands, experiment with buttons and knobs, and play more imaginatively. Physically, they run, kick balls, climb stairs, and eat with a spoon. This stage reflects growing awareness, coordination, and connection.

By age three, children start managing emotions more smoothly, calming after brief separation and joining others in play. Their speech becomes more social and curious — holding short conversations, asking “who” and “why” questions, and describing what’s happening around them. They can draw simple shapes, use a fork, and begin dressing themselves. This stage marks a shift toward independence, confidence, and stronger coordination in both thought and movement.

By age four, children show richer imagination and stronger social awareness. They pretend to be different characters, comfort friends, and adapt behavior to where they are. Their speech becomes more descriptive, sharing stories from their day and answering simple questions. They can name colors, draw people with details, and catch or pour with growing control. This stage reflects expanding creativity, empathy, and coordination in both language and play.
By four, Unity children lean into group harmony: they comfort friends, ask to join play, and shift behavior for home, school, or quiet spaces. They tell simple stories from their day, plan pretend scenarios, and anticipate “what comes next.” Balance, catching, and self-serve skills are quite strong, while judgment continues to improve—children will avoid risky jumps and choose helpful roles.

By age five, children begin to follow rules, take turns in games, and enjoy performing for others. They tell short stories, keep longer conversations, and recognize rhymes and simple time words like “yesterday” or “tomorrow.” They count, name numbers and letters, and can focus on activities for several minutes. Physically, they hop, button clothing, and move with better balance. This stage shows readiness for school, teamwork, and greater self-reliance.
By five, children follow game rules, take turns, and enjoy leading responsibilities like folding clothes or clearing the table. At this age they are starting to become a help around. the house. Conversations stretch longer; they retell stories with a beginning and end and notice rhymes and patterns in language. Focus extends through shared projects, and self-control, kindness, and perspective-taking guide choices—showing readiness for school, friendships, and community life.
The CDC publishes a guide based on average development, but our world uses this as the guide for what should happen. Children who start with our programs from birth are outpacing the "average" by over 1 year at the age of 3. Find a Unity child in the wild and you're sure to say "wow".
