Kindermusik "Sign & Sing" -New Session begins in a week!
February 14, 2013
Are you looking for a fun weekly activity for you and your pre-verbal child to do together while also helping them to learn sign language? We are looking for more friends to join our Kindermusik "Sign & Sing" class offered by Tiny Talkers! Dads, Grandparents & Nannies are encouraged to bring their kids (moms too of course!).
Through songs, music, toys, simple instruments and loving playtime between you and your child, this class will show you many signs your child can use to communicate with you. Using research-proven methods shown to speed language development in hearing children, you'll see how sign language can ease frustration and enhance long-term learning abilities for your child.
