Baby Signs Using sign language with your baby or toddler has many benefits. Babies who sign are less frustrated, speak earlier, have higher IQ's (10-12 points higher), and develop larger vocabularies than those who don't. Our class teaches parents and caregivers to use signs so the baby will begin to use them even before they can talk. A good time to start using signs is at 6 months. We offer two classes to meet the needs and interests of all families: Level 1 – Basic instruction in why to sign, how to introduce signs, and which signs to start with. Signs taught will include signs for health and safety words, family members, animals, foods, and other fun and useful words. Level 2 – Further your and your child’s understanding of sign language through our level 2 class. This class expands upon the vocabulary taught in the Level 1 class with more animals, foods, clothing, letters, numbers, and fun signs. Integrate signing with books, songs and activities too. Babies are welcome to attend class if you feel that your learning experience won’t be compromised. Classes can also be scheduled for your daycare or center. $25 per level per family, $40 if you attend both classes when offered and scheduled at the same time.
