FOR FAMILIES
Sign, Say & Play® Class

Each 45-min. class introduces new signs from the following themes: mealtime, bedtime, bath time, getting dressed, pets and park.
BeeBo™ the Baby Signs® Bear helps babies learn the new signs along with fun songs and activities each week to help them go smoothly through their routines at home.
Parents take home new handouts each week that cover new signs learned and parent education topics that come from the Baby Signs founders (Dr. Linda Acredolo and Dr. Susan Goodwyn).

More Sign, Say & Play® Class
This six-week class is the same in structure as the first play class but new signs and parent education topics are introduced that match the older toddler's development. The focus is on emotional development with all new songs and signs (themes include feelings, outside, safety, farm animals, zoo animals, and birthday).
It's not necessary to have completed the 1st play class but the toddler should already be able to model a sign or two to get the most out of this class.

This class focuses on the older child (2-5 years) and how much more important they are in their family now in their new role of teacher to the new baby. The whole family participates in fun, engaging activities that are all safe things your older child can do with the new baby that helps with their development. Parents go home with a helpful handout that includes everything learned in the class and the child makes a fun craft at the end.
