Baby Caregivers
UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre
Co.) - New research has proven
that ordinary activities such as
rocking your baby, playing peek
a-boo, and singing lullabies help
babies learn. By doing these
type of activities with your
infant, you are laying the foun
dation for brain development
that leads to life-long talents
and capabilities. For working
parents, these discoveries make
the choice of a child care
provider an even more impor
tant one. When choosing child
care, take time to visit several to
see if:
• the caregiver spends time
holding, cuddling, and rocking
infants.
• simply games, like peek-a
boo, are played regularly.

Telling simple stories and recit
ing childhood poems are ways to
expose an infant to language.
• stories are read often, at
least once a day or more. This is
an important factor to help
infants be ready to learn.
• the caregiver is aware that
every infant learns and develops
skills at his own pace. There is
no right or wrong time-frame.
For example, learning the skills
