This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
am trying to equip students with practical knowledge and skills for real-world parenting and childcare. These babies will enhance our curriculum and provide students with a hands-on learning experience. These simulators will offer students an interactive opportunity to experience the challenges and responsibilities of caring for an infant, including feeding, diapering, and soothing. By integrating these realistic simulations into our classroom, students will gain a deeper understanding of the physical and emotional needs of babies, The use of baby simulators will not only prepare students for careers in childcare but also provide valuable life skills for future parenting or even more valuable, will provide them with the knowledge that they may not be ready for such responsibilities.
Half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
