Baby & Me Best Hits

Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh Children’s Specialists offer Baby & Me programs at many of our locations. During Baby & Me, caregivers and children birth to 18 months sing, clap and bounce along to interactive rhymes, stories and songs. Many of the books we read in Baby & Me programs are big hits with the families. That is why our children’s specialists will read the same books in Baby & Me on many occasions.

According to the Pennsylvania Early Learning Standards for early childhood, infants will attend to pictures during a lap reading experience and young toddlers will show preference for favorite books or pages. In addition, repetition strengthens brain development in babies and toddlers.
