Sign Language

Activities and Workshops

Sign language for babies and toddlers is a wonderful way to encourage early communication skills of your baby, which will alleviate frustration, for both you and him or her. Sign language uses both sides of the brain, to help re-inforce vocabulary so baby learns it sooner! Studies show that kids who sign actually speak sooner than their non-signing counterparts, and that by age three, their IQ's are an average of 2-6 points higher.

At Jollyjumpers, music and movement program for newborn to age 18 months, you will participate in two sign language activities every class, allowing you to build a sign vocabulary and practice in a practical setting.

Summer 2006 we had a baby sign language mini camp. Similar format to our Jollyjumpers class, but with lots of sign activities, songs and stories, as well as parent info.
