development, now it’s available in Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone, and also Symbian_x000D_
version. It’s also the most downloaded application in the world these days, especially for_x000D_
smartphone users. To operate WhatsApp, it needs no credit like text messaging, because it_x000D_
only needs internet data _x000D_
(_x000D_

)_x000D_
or wifi. WhatsApp user’s contact can be automatically_x000D_

Messenger._x000D_
The purpose of this writing paper is to give instant comprehension about using_x000D_
WhatsApp media on baby’s growth and development activities which babysitted on child day_x000D_
care. True, baby is inseparable from how their childhood educational proceed in the family._x000D_
Every parents are given mandate to take care the birth and first steps of human lives. Through_x000D_
parent’s hand, every helpless little babies are gently loved with warmth, given nutritions, and_x000D_
also breastfeeding, etc. In the other side, for the sake of decent living and survival, young_x000D_

the importance of WhatsApp as a media for child day care supervision. WhatsApp is used to_x000D_
create and establish communication between parents and the day care. Parents usually left_x000D_
their babies from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. This day care is truly an answer to parent’s limited_x000D_

between day care and parents so that lessons taught to the babies in the day care can be_x000D_
shared to their parents, so children can continue the lessons at home. Also through WhatsApp_x000D_
media, teachers and parents can share plenty information about children, either in education,_x000D_
health, as well in parenting.
