Have decreased frustration
Have increased self-esteem
We offer 2 class formats for this program:
Traditional (similar to a "how-to" seminar)
Parents will learn the fundamentals of signing and all of the signs in the signing dictionary in class #1 (2 hours without baby). One week later parents and babies return for the "sign time" learn-through-play portion of the program where they will practice through games, songs and stories.
Weekly (similar to a weekly music program)
All of the same fundamentals of signing are learned except parents and babies attend all classes together. This 3-week program incorporates teaching and signing playtime activities in every class.
Sign-In Class (weekly classes, toddler - teens)
Your personal instructor will deliver a fun, interactive, musical, learn-through-play (age appropriate of course) weekly program to your students. You decide how many classes you want (min. 3), you decide which classrooms will participate, you decide what topic/theme you would like us to cover. It's all up to you!
Sample Program: FOOD (30 min, 2 1/2 - 4 Y)
Whether you have a group of friends, a mommy's group or would simply prefer an exclusively private program for just your family we can meet your needs.
Just released in March 2010, this is the best way for signing parents, teachers and children to have fun signing through out the day. Erick Traplin, award-winning musician and children's entertainer created 5 original toe-tapping and hand-talking songs just for us! In the 14-track CD there are also some of Erick's most popular songs. The full-colour, illustrated book will help parents bring the songs to life with all the ASL signs necessary.
Our new signing CD and book!
As more parents begin signing with their baby there are now more parents looking for child care that supports signing. We can train and certify you and your staff to successfully sign with the children in your centre/school. You will also be included in our resource list available to parents.
