Parent/Baby Sign Language 
We’ll sign, sing, read, move our bodies – and have fun! This class will provide an exciting and supportive space for kids and their caregivers to learn 100+ American Sign Language signs to use at home. We'll practice our Everyday Signs + alphabet in every class, plus learn 15-20 signs for each week’s different theme. Research shows that teaching young children sign language encourages talking, decreases frustration, promotes bonding, and increases a child's verbal vocabulary. Taught by a pediatric speech-language pathologist and includes a take-home resource binder with all signs, song lyrics, and book suggestions.
