This fun and engaging play class builds an ASL vocabulary while playing, singing, and exploring carefully chosen props in a purposeful way. Large group activities as well as weekly small group activity centers offer tangible strategies to teach babies how to sign back more quickly.
Play Classes are great for families new to signing as well as for those who may have already started. Come enjoy developmentally-based activities that foster closeness and communication between you and your baby.
