Description
Little Signers was created because of the high demand from parents to learn sign language as a supplemental form of communication with their children. Sign language can open an exciting new world between you and your young child! Our program provides guidance and tools to parents and caregivers on how to communicate with their babies through sign language before their infants can speak. We will also teach you how to enhance communication with your toddler and pre-schooler through the wonderful world of signing.
