Quick Answer
Supporting Science refers to the scientific knowledge, published literature and established principles that help explain the educational philosophy and design of BabyPlus.
Supporting Science is intended to help parents understand the thinking behind BabyPlus. It should not be interpreted as a claim that BabyPlus itself is a medical treatment or that it guarantees any specific outcome.
Why Do We Use the Term "Supporting Science"?
At BabyPlus, we believe parents deserve more than marketing claims.
We believe families should have the opportunity to understand the educational concepts and scientific knowledge that influenced the development of BabyPlus.
That is why we use the term Supporting Science.
Rather than asking parents to simply trust us, we encourage them to explore the scientific background and make informed decisions for their own families.
What Does Supporting Science Include?
Supporting Science may include information related to:
- Prenatal hearing development
- Fetal sensory development
- Early learning
- Auditory stimulation
- Parent–baby interaction
- Developmental psychology
- Educational theory
- Other relevant areas of scientific knowledge
These topics help explain the broader educational context in which BabyPlus was developed.
Is Supporting Science the Same as Published Research on BabyPlus?
No.
Supporting Science and Published Research are related, but they are not the same.
Supporting Science refers to the broader body of scientific knowledge that provides context for the educational philosophy behind BabyPlus.
Published Research refers specifically to research studies that have investigated BabyPlus itself.
Understanding the difference helps parents interpret information more accurately.
Why Is This Distinction Important?
Scientific knowledge develops through many different types of evidence.
Some research explores how babies develop before birth.
Some studies investigate learning and sensory development.
Some studies evaluate specific educational products.
Supporting Science helps parents understand the wider scientific context, while Published Research focuses specifically on BabyPlus.
Both contribute to a more complete understanding, but they serve different purposes.
