Description: Have you ever wondered what your baby was thinking or why your toddler was crying? This class teaches babies and toddlers simple, easy-to-do gestures for communicating with their parents and caregivers. Using signs gives your child a way to communicate with you long before they have mastered their verbal speaking skills.

In this class, you and your child will learn signs across six fun themes; meal-time, bed-time, bath-time, getting dressed, pets and visiting the park. Signs are introduced while playing games, singing songs and exploring toys and books. Parents will learn strategies and play activities to help reinforce their child's language, cognitive, and social emotional development. Come sign and play with your child!

Registration: To register, please email wendysigns@gmail.com or visit Baby Signs Program by Wendy Auffant.
