  • Sign Language

     

    SIGN with your BABY- Learn how to communicate with your child before they can speak! In a playful, language-rich, educational environment, parents, caregivers and children (6 months-18 months) will build their America Sign Language (ASL) vocabulary through interactive games, songs and instruction Topics include getting started, mealtime, bath time, getting dressed, diapers and bedtime, along with other fun day to day and playtime signs. Cost includes DVD. Studies show that using sign language with young children helps to: strengthen parent/child bonds, reduce frustration, enrich your child’s speech & language, increase self-confidence, and improve motor skills.

    Limited to 10 children per class

  • Making Music Praying Twice

    Music is a fun way to connect with your child. Join us for this fun, low-pressure, hands-on parent/child music course for our youngest
    music lovers (0-5 years of age). Children and parents use instruments, toys, and scarves to dance, chant, sing, play games, and pray together. Following class we hang out and get to know each other and eat goldfish. Some sign language is used, but the focus of the class is music, not signing. We pray at the beginning and end of each class and have a blast. Songs are a mix of Christian and secular songs! All are welcome!

    Limited to 12 children per class. (Minimum 5 students)
