Or maybe they'd rendezvous and bring them "up to speed" so to speak ?

  it would be better to just 'seed' the tiny starshot spacecraft with human embryos that could litter the planet and then develop on arrival.

    See James P. Hogan's Voyage from Yesteryear. It involves a post-scarcity civilization seeded in much the way you suggest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyage_from_Yesteryear https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyage_from_Yesteryear

    Right because human babies let alone embryos do so well on their own.

      that's why we also send self-replicating nanobots along with them.

        For their extensive experience in child rearing.
        • platz 10y ago
          no problem, we train them with a convolutional neural net w/ examples from earth to provide for them. should suffice until about an age of 7 after which they'll just continue to use the nanobots to provide raw materials.

    Adults from later, faster spacecrafts could raise the babies.

      we'll also send send self-replicating nanobots

      Why wouldn't they just bring their own? Or make some?
