Sign up now!
The Baby Sign Group is offered as a
6-week session, and meets one day a week for 45 minutes.
Following the completion of the first six-week session, families can enroll
in Baby Sign 2 for a further six weeks of signing.
We are unique and differ
from other baby sign classes in that we use a family-centered
approach - incorporating signs specifically related to your family and
your baby's daily routines
and needs. One week the group's focus might be on food, another on
bath or bed time, another on family or feelings, and so on. In
addition, most weeks the groups learn the signs to a familiar children's song.
Board books are used to practice the
vocabulary.
Our goals for our baby
groups are:
-
To help families
develop an understanding of the value and benefits of using signs for
daily interaction with their babies.
-
To develop the fluent, simple signing needed
to communicate with their baby.
-
To establish
appropriate facial expressions and body movements to support the words
spoken and signed to their babies.
-
To enhance early literacy
experiences for the entire family.
-
To have fun!

successful!
We just get you started
.... you go on happily ever after!
