Do you ever get frustrated because you have no idea what your baby wants?
Want to connect with your baby before she can speak?
You’re not alone! Join us for a Signs of Learning parent child class and learn how to communicate in Sign Language with your baby!
Studies show that using sign language with young children helps to:
strengthen parent/child bonds
reduce frustration
enrich your child’s speech & language
increase self-confidence
improve motor skills.
SIGN with your BABY- Learn how to communicate with your child before they can speak! In a playful, language-rich, educational environment, parents, caregivers and children (6 months-18 months) will build their America Sign Language (ASL) vocabulary through interactive games, songs and instruction. Topics include getting started, mealtime, bath time, getting dressed, diapers and bedtime, along with other fun day to day and playtime signs. The “Register Here” button will take you to the Wake Forest Parks and Rec page where you can search on “Sign Language” to register or learn more about the Signs of Learning classes there. The cost for Wake Forest residents is $95 and non-residents is $119.
Jess Kelly
Owner and Instructor for Signs of Learning
“Jess does an amazing job integrating songs, toys and movement into her classes. She helped me feel confident signing with my baby and to also have the patience for my son to realize his gestures had meaning. Signing cut way down on shrieking and crying when my toddler wanted something because with signing I could respond faster and more accurately. It’s amazing to have a baby tell you whether he wants water or milk... or ask politely for more crackers while at the dining table. I cannot recommend Jess highly enough.”
“Signing has helped me connect with my daughter, Easton, and has helped her develop a sense of independence. It also gave me another excuse to sing a song and be silly with her! Easton and I started a class when she was about 6 months old and we looked forward to our class each week. Jess always has great toys and music. She tailored the classes to meet our needs. She didn’t just teach us signs and songs. She taught us how to use them in our daily lives, about how our children learn language and about the deaf community. Jess shared her stories and encouraged us to share ours. Now, Easton signs and says things together but there is nothing like the first time that she signed back. I’m so glad I took the class!”
