Smart Baby Program

1 comments
This App will teach parents how to demonstrate the concepts of counting, adding, subtraction, fraction, and early reading. This is based on research studies that the environment which is the family is the most critical factor in making our children happier and smarter. And if these activities are done with fun, as early as possible, the outcome is a happy and smart child both at home and at the school. These methods has been used in a pediatric office at Bangor, Maine successfully.


Early Education Works, Study Showed

In a study by Frances Campbell of University of North Carolina, it was shown that early childhood education is an important factor on the success of poor children. “Learning begins in infancy. Education should too,” Campbell stated.

In 1972, Dr. Ramsey, at the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Center enrolled 111 infants from low-income families (98% from black families) and randomly assigned 57 of the babies to high quality child care center. Among those who received the early high quality program, 40% were still in school; but only 20% for those who did not receive the care.

The study showed that 35% of those who receive the early care were still attending or had graduated from a 4-year college course compared to only 14% from those who did not.

Those who were also under the early quality care center had higher scores on both reading and math tests and about 65% of them were employed compared with the 50% of those who did not go under the early quality care.

The early quality child care program called the Abecedarian Project was different from the traditional day care program. Babies were enrolled as early as 6 months old, attended every day for the whole year round and the methods focused on the social, emotional, and cognitive activities.

This study by Dr. Ramsey clearly showed why children should have an early education from infancy.
