At baby's pace - The lab of the Cité des bébés

The Cité des sciences et de l'industrie has forged its expertise based on its knowledge of the children's public and the constant exchanges it maintains with childhood experts: pedagogues, psychologists, teachers, sociologists. On the strength of this expertise, a new space for young children from 0 to 2 years old has been launched: the lab of the Cité des bébés.

Adapted to the rhythm of 0-2 year olds

The Cité des bébés lab offers a series of experiments to promote their development. Playful and progressive, it is based on the know-how that has made the Cité des enfants a success: adult-child activities, stimulation of motor and cognitive skills... everything is done so that babies can open their eyes wide to the world around them.

Respectful of the environment

This project is part of an exemplary environmental approach (zero plastic, zero screens, use of eco-labeled paints and varnishes). This environmentally friendly and plastic-free space introduces young children to the world of science and exploration through sensory experiences and games without chemical risk.

Parent-child workshops

The playful atmosphere is enriched, throughout the year, by proposals for workshops adapted to toddlers: storytelling and dramatized readings, animations around sign language - which gives babies the opportunity to express themselves before having access to speech... The activities evolve to best meet the needs of visitors.
