Baby Talk Child Development Lab is an education and consulting service based in Islamabad, Pakistan. At Baby Talk, we believe that experience in the first five years of life is crucial for building cognitive foundations that carry us through the rest of our lives. In light of this, we provide workshops, classes, and consulting services on a variety of topics related to cognitive development in early childhood. We follow an evidence-based, research-backed approach to bring tools and knowledge to parents, caregivers, and educators of babies and young children. As part of our dedication to this approach, we also work in collaboration with Pakistani and international researchers in order to better understand the unique factors of infancy and childhood in our local environment.
