Stop guessing what your baby is trying to tell you and start spending more time fulfilling your child's specific needs. Baby Sign Language gives parents the opportunity to communicate with children long before babies can verbalize their wants and needs. Research studies show that signing with babies accelerates language acquisition, reduces frustration and aggressive behavior, and as children mature, results in a greater interest in reading. Out of all the wonderful benefits of baby sign language, the most important benefit of all is that signing will greatly deepen the bond between you and your child.
This 6-week series class is a fun opportunity for you to build
your signing vocabulary with themes like mealtime, animals, colors,
family, bedtime, and more! We've split 18 sessions into three
different six-day series named after the primary colors: Red,
Yellow, and Blue. No need to take them in order. Just dive in and
start learning now.
Our Introductory Workshop is recommended prior to taking a
playgroup series unless you are already familiar with American Sign
Language (ASL).
