Tiny Fingers Baby Sign Language has announced its fall schedule!
They offer classes at locations throughout the DC area. You can also arrange for a teacher to come to you, if would like to host a group of families or professionals. One-time workshops are offered, as well as three- and six-week classes that focus on a different theme for each lesson.
Teachers are trained in American Sign Language and have experience with very young children. Classes are appropriate for babies six months to two-and-a-half years.
The Tiny Fingers website has a great database of articles about the cognitive and linguistic benefits of teaching sign language to pre-verbal kids: www.tinyfingers.com. It's a helpful resource for parents considering taking classes. They also offer related books and media helpful to parents.
And the fall schedule is . . .
