In this 75 minute (in person) workshop, you’ll learn about all of the most compelling WHYs for teaching your baby or toddler sign language, understand the most practical and effective HOWs for learning together as a family and find out WHAT signs are the most helpful as you jump start your singing journey by mastering your first 40 signs.  

Of course babies and toddlers are both welcomed and encouraged to attend, but this workshop is intended to help you as a caregiver feel equipped to bring signing into your child’s everyday life. You are welcome to attend without your child if that feels best for you!

After the workshop you’ll be invited to a private Facebook group where you can find extra resources and continue to practice the signs you’ve learned.
