Sing and Sign Playtime - Winter Session II


  • St Francis of Assisi Community Center 11401 Leesville Road Raleigh, NC, 27617 United States (map)

Do you want to connect with your toddler and other parents?

Do you want to learn how to communicate with your baby or toddler before they 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.

Come practice the signs you and your child already know or learn new signs to go along with fun songs. This 30 minute class is designed to keep American Sign Language fun and entertaining. No previous signing experience is necessary. Come ready to sing and laugh and dance around.

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!
