Early Communication — From the moment a parent meets that little one, there is a strong desire to understand.  What is he thinking? Is he hungry, tired, too cold, content? Early on, every baby also has an innate desire to communicate.

In a Kindermusik Sign & Sing class (developed by Signing Smart™), we give parents the tools and knowledge to communicate with their babies using American Sign Language. Through songs and play, both parents and babies learn signs for words like “mommy” and “eat,” and as well as practical signs like “more,” “milk,” and when he’s “all done.” This research-proven signing class for hearing children speeds language development, eases frustration, and enhances long-term learning abilities.

Age Range: 6 months to 3 years
Class Structure: 5 or 10 classes in a semester—varies by location
Class Length: 40-50 minute class each week
Class Size: Class with no more than 1 children with parents

Enrollment includes:

• Developmentally appropriate American Sign language curriculum for parents and hearing children, ages 6 months to 3 years
• 5 week semester
• Weekly 45 minute class
• One set of At Home Materials—includes a Family Activity Guide, DVD, and Clip-On Flashcards showing adults and children using signs
• Over 75 sign language activities and games to play together
• Home Materials: Family Activity Guide, DVD Glossary, and clip-on flashcards

Spring Session- Playtime and everyday items around the house—such as a ball, bubbles, and family members—are learning themes in this introduction to American Sign Language for a child and caregiver. Parents will benefit from the session’s four, research-proven strategies shown to speed language development in hearing children, developed by the child development and sign language experts Signing Smart™. With the DVD’s visual dictionary showing parents and children making over 60 signs, plus a pocket-sized set of flashcards of the pictures and the words of the signs, parents easily incorporate sign language into their daily routines, favorite nursery rhymes, and stories.
