Q. Can you explain what Bablr is?

Bablr is a learning system for 0-3 years. Parents can use it in the comfort of their homes to create the right development environment for their little ones. Bablr design focuses on important drivers of early years development such as rich language environment, positive care and diverse sensory experiences. Bablr Programme design is flexible and accommodates all life situations. It is very easy to start and sustain.

You can sign up online for free and enroll your baby any time before their 3rd birthday and they can continue till graduation or 4th birthday, whichever is earlier. You then download the mobile and tablet apps and start the programme. The Bablr algorithm will present to you 7 to 10 activities every day, based on the age and the progress of your baby. It will also provide you content and smart tools which you can use to conduct these activities. Once you upgrade to Premium, you get access to many more features and full content. We also offer Premium Plus and Premium Con

Bablr digital platform interface is also in English (United Kingdom) with an option to choose Hindi when you use our R-Mode (Regional-Mode). We are working hard to add more languages in R-Mode.

Q. Are Bablr materials safe for babies? Have you taken any quality certification?

All Bablr Materials are certified for safety and quality standards accepted in the markets or countries to which they are shipped. 

Q. How is Bablr different from baby development or parenting apps or activity boxes which are available from various companies on online shopping sites?

Bablr is neither a parenting or early development support app or activity boxes subscription. Bablr is a long term programme benchmarked against the most reputed global early years frameworks such as EYFS of the UK. It has a flexible approach to suit to all life situations.

Unlike Baby Development Apps which only provide how-to videos for activities, Bablr aims to provide an all-in-one solution to parents. Over and above activity instructions, it also includes learning materials such as Story Books, Show & Play Cards and Rhymes (lyrics + music) etc. It also comes with very detailed content for parents such as Conversations & Tours Guides. We also provide material boxes with sensory play materials as part of the programme.

Bablr TTC Method thoughtfully weaves the drivers of early years development such as play based learning, rich language environment and an atmosphere of care, into your day-to-day interactions with your baby. Bablr sessions are scheduled and published by a proprietary algorithm based on the age and progress of the baby.

All in all, Bablr takes a planned and structured approach to early development as opposed to sporadic activities. It is perhaps the most comprehensive 0-3 programme in the world.

Q. What kind of development needs does Bablr address?

Bablr covers 6 dimensions of early development. These are:

• Linguistic Skills
• Knowledge of the World
• Maths and Reasoning
• Appreciation of Music & Arts
• Sensory, Social and Emotional Development
• General Development

Q. Do I need to buy individual/separate plans for each of my twins/triplets/quadruplets?

Yes. A Bablr Plan is meant for one baby. The algorithm personalizes the activities for each baby everyday based on the age and progress. If you want to allow each baby to traverse their own path, you will have to buy separate plans. 

Q. How do I skip a month?

When you take a break, the algorithm will provide for the gap like a caring teacher and continue the programme in the most suitable way. If you are on a monthly subscription plan you can cancel your premium access for the period of your break and resume access when you want to start using Bablr again.

Q. Can I register my yet to be born baby in the Bablr Programme?

Yes, you can register an unborn baby and start accessing the App which also has useful parenting content. The algorithm will start publishing sessions for the baby only when you enter the date of birth.

If you are upgrading to a premium plan on the App Stores, we recommend that you do so only after you have entered the date of birth of your baby. This way you will not be charged for the pre-birth period. 

If you are upgrading to a premium plan on the Bablr WebApp, you can do so anytime because Bablr WebApp activates your premium plan only when you enter the date of birth irrespective of your date of purchase.

Q. Why do I see only 1 session in a day though I have scheduled 2 or 3 sessions for my baby?

Since gradual build up works better with babies, the algorithm doesn’t publish multiple sessions until the baby is 10 weeks old. You will see exactly the number of sessions you have opted for in your routine, as soon as your baby is 10 weeks old.

Q. Can I run the same Activity multiple times in a day without marking it as complete?

You can do any activity any number of times as long as your baby and you are enjoying it. Marking it complete is more for the algorithm so that it knows that you are making progress. You can also save an activity in favourites if you would like to do in the future outside your algorithm routine.

Q. Why do I see the same type of Activity in every session in Daily Routine?

Repetitions are very important in all early learning methods. We need to expose babies to things a few numbers of times before they connect the dots. So do not worry, it is all part of the plan. Please keep doing the activities as long as your baby and you are enjoying it. In extreme cases, you may look at custom options and go faster.

Q. Why do I see same type of Show and Play in more than 1 session in a day/from last couple of days?

Repetitions are very important in all early learning methods. We need to expose babies to things a few numbers of times before they connect the dots. So do not worry, it is all part of the plan. Please keep doing the activities as long as your baby and you are enjoying it. In extreme cases, you may look at custom options and go faster.

Q. In Conversations and Experience Tours activities, why does it take me from last cue card to 1st card again, instead of allowing me to directly mark this Activity as Complete?

The Cue Cards are provided as a “by the way” help. You may or may not use them or you may use them in the sequence you desire. Hence, we do not link them to the completion of the activity. Please carry out these activities in your style with lots of flexibility and mark as complete when you are done.

Q. Why is the Tutorial Video buffering?/Why do the images take so long to load in apps and on the website?

Such instances are very rare. If you face this, we request you to check internet connectivity and/or Refresh the page and/or log out & login again. If the problem persists, you can try the following common solutions:
