Baby Sign Language Class

Registration for this program is now full. Please visit Eventbrite to join the waitlist. Even if your child does not get a spot in the program, by registering for the waitlist you are helping us gauge interest in this program for the future so we can adjust our program offerings to meet demand.

Join us for a four-class series on Monday mornings to learn about the benefits of using sign language to help build communication skills, reduce frustration, and enhance connections. This program is for children ages 2 months to 2 years old and their caregivers. Each week families and their babies will enjoy a song and story and learn new signs:

Week 1: November 13 – Basic Signs

Week 2: November 20 – Playtime Signs

Week 3: November 27 – Bath Time Signs

Week 4: December 4 – Sleepy Time Signs

Please bring a blanket to sit on and toys for your little one to play with. This program requires registration and has limited capacity. Please visit Eventbrite to register. By registering on Eventbrite, you are registering for all four sessions.

Registering for this program indicates a commitment to attend all four sign language classes. Please do not register for this program if you will miss more than one session. If you miss a second class, your spot will be given to the next person on the waiting list. We understand that illness and emergencies occur – if an absence due to unforeseen circumstances is communicated to staff, it will not be considered a no-show.
