Baby Watch

Check out “Small Steps-Big Changes” to see how the Baby Watch program made a difference in the lives of students at Stephen Girard Elementary School!

 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.
