Learn how to support your little one’s communication and cognitive development using simple baby signs. In this parenting group with an emphasis on supporting language, each session will start with caregiver discussion, support, and community building. Then, as you and your baby play, caregivers will learn gestures that can help ease frustration, and improve communication – for both of you! Each meeting, we’ll learn and practice a handful of signs as we play, sing, do fingerplays, and read a story. You’ll leave our class with signs for several settings, like mealtime, bedtime, bath time, and more. Best for crawling or soon-to-be crawling babies.

Enjoy time with your toddler exploring the classroom, singing songs, participating in art activities, reading books and playing to learn. Parents separate for a portion of the class into another classroom with a licensed Parent Educator to discuss their child’s social, emotional and physical development while the children play with their teachers and classmates. For ages 18-24 months. Sibling Care is available during this class: https://earlylearning.edinaschools.org/learning/sibling-care ***Please note that for section 1824-1 there was misprint in our mailer.
