Babies Rock
Babies Rock allows community volunteers to help spark curiosity, support healthy brain development, and build the foundation for early literacy and lifelong learning.
Through gentle rocking, playful moments, stories, and songs, volunteers surround babies with love and connection that support growth and development.
Infants who are comforted and nurtured in their earliest months are more likely to grow into secure and confident toddlers and children.
Babies Rock goes far beyond hugs and playtime-it lays the foundation for a lifelong love of language and learning. Volunteers spend precious time reading, singing, and talking with babies, surrounding them with the rhythms, patterns, and sounds that fuel healthy brain development. These early moments of connection build vocabulary, spark curiosity, and strengthen the pathways that support future learning. With Babies Rock, every cuddle, every story, every song, and every smile becomes an investment in a child’s future- and a meaningful opportunity for volunteers to touch lives during the most critical years of growth.
What do Volunteers do?
Once training and screenings are complete, volunteers step into the classroom ready to rock, hold, play, and read with infants, guided by age-appropriate materials and daily activities that spark growth and connection. These interactions help strengthen bonds, promote early literacy, support developmental growth, and build confidence. Volunteers are not responsible for feeding or diapering.
