# Create, Edit, or Delete Milestones

Most states require staff to use learning standards to track developmental milestones for children. This isn't meant to enforce a standardized development of all children. Instead, staff should be aware of the skills that children generally demonstrate when they reach a certain age, and be aware if any child shows regression or a lack of development, as this might indicate a health issue.

[The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention](https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/actearly/milestones/index.html) has several great resources. You should also check with your local or state standards for more details.

## How to Use Milestones in Procare

- Procare offers preloaded state [standards for all 50 states and Montessori learning](/procare-online/docs/tracking-child-development-with-procare). However, these standards are fully customizable.
- Procare also offers [Vine Assessment](/procare-online/docs/vine-assessments-overview).

To change the milestones configured in a Procare Online account, contact Customer Support.

Watch this video for a quick walkthrough on how to create milestones.

  1. **Short Name**: This is how Procare will reference your domain. For example, you might use "COG" for "Cognitive and General Knowledge."
  2. **Title**: This is the full name of the domain (in the previous example, you would use "Cognitive and General Knowledge").
  3. **Category**: Use the drop-down to assign a category to the domain. See: [Milestone Categories](/procare-online/docs/milestone-categories) for how to manage your categories.
4. Then click **Save**.
