Years ago, I saw a TV program about a baby college that taught babies 
how to read dots which they would add or subtract. They had a program 
that they would send you to work with your baby at home.

Hi there!  We found information about these for-profit programs at

  http://199.97.229.105/IAHP/HTML/GRcatalg/GR22.html   

Personally, I would take their programs with a LARGE grain of salt 
before swallowing.  Their claims are too great for my liking.

HOW TO TEACH YOUR BABY MATH 
Glenn Doman and Janet Doman (The Better Baby Press) Revised and 
updated edition

When How To Teach Your Baby To Read sold over a million copies, a high 
percentage of the parents who had successfully taught their children 
to read asked Glenn Doman, "How do I teach my baby math?" 

It took ten long years to discover the answer. This book provides 
parents with a simple and clear daily program for teaching small 
children mathematics while simultaneously enriching their mutual love 
and respect. 

Mathematics, say the authors, is not a subject like geography but a 
way of thinking and reasoning. They show clearly just how easy it is 
to teach a young child the reality of quantity and the simple truth 
behind the symbols we use in mathematics. 

The authors emphasize throughout that the process is a joyous one. 
Indeed, as this exciting book shows, teaching babies mathematics opens 
yet another marvelous path on the long road to ultimate maturity. 

Historically, we have not only dreadfully underestimated the tiny 
child's ability to do math (while substantially overestimating our own 
ability) but we have given him material to work with that falls far 
short of his ability and his level of enjoyment. It is a miracle we 
have not bored him to death, instead of just boring him to the point 
of not wanting to do math. - Glenn Doman, How To Teach Your Baby Math
