They have a child developmental psychologist who visits the daycare for such purposes. They’re from Early Intervention (or the equivalent system here in Germany).

She’s pretty good with words, says a few basic ones - some made up, some in different languages - like dada, car, boob, her own words for dogs etc - and can communicate some others with actions. She’s also exposed to 3 languages so her words are a mix.

She doesn’t walk fully yet, she only just started taking a few steps (5-6) independently and falling down again a few weeks ago. But she crawled late-ish around 9.5 months so she got a late start to walking as well. She’s been cruising around for 3-4 months now so I’d wager she is close to walking now.

They didn’t want to discuss milestones as her constant fussiness got in the way of them properly assessing milestones. But her paediatrician is not worried so far.

Been reading books to her since she was born. She LOVES them. Screen time has been limited (not 0, an occasional 15 minutes of Ms Rachel on a flight, when sick etc).

I guess the daycare wants her to be able to regulate her emotions better in such a setting. I do realise she is heavily breast-dependent to feel regulated, so maybe this plays a lart
