Baby Watch
The Baby Watch Program began in the mid-1970s as an innovative program that introduced young students to the concepts of child development and nurturing relationships. Infants and parent/caregivers are “adopted” by a school for an entire year. With this program, ECP is able to transform ordinary classrooms into interactive learning labs in which students examine the complex parent-child relationship and learn to care for and nurture themselves and others. Students are able to observe, ask questions, and predict changes in the baby's development.As one teacher from the Philadelphia school district describes, “ECP is not just a program that principals and teachers should want in their classrooms but rather one they need in their classrooms. The program is so well integrated with real world situations and problem solving that it is a program no school should be without.”
