Methods: This research and development was conducted in three phases; Phase1: Analyzing the situation and needs of early childhood development surveillance and promotion through a focus group with health care personnel involved in early childhood development promotion, interviewed with postpartum mothers, and literature review; Phase 2: Constructing a model for early childhood development surveillance and promotion; Phase 3: Implementing of the model with seven mother-child pairs in the target area.

The result from the pilot test revealed that maternal development-promoting behaviors at 7 and 30 days postpartum were high (M = 2.62, SD= .12; M=2.90, SD= .12, respectively). Additionally, child development at 1 and 2 months was age-appropriate in all aspects. Conclusion: A surveillance and promotion model for infant development in the Huay Yot District Health Service Network could be used to monitor and promote child development.
