This parent-tot series class is offered in 10 weekly one-hour sessions. Parents and children learn signs and signing strategies through small group playtime activities and song. Each class is based on a weekly theme. Approximately 10 minutes of parent focused lecture is included during each class. Come prepared to learn and have fun, as classes are interactive for both child and parent. Enhance your child's learning abilities through the bonding of music and reading books while using American Sign Language. Early exposure to a kinesthetic language such as ASL, provides an avenue for communication development as well as assists with literacy and reading readiness. Motor skills, dexterity, rhythm and hand-eye coordination improve and increase brain activity and growth through hearing music and active participation in it. Studies show that music provides tools essential for problem solving and fosters emotional bonding and self esteem.
