Sign, Say & Play™ Curriculum
The Sign, Say & Play curriculum is a 6-week program of carefully crafted sequenced sessions developed especially for parents and babies 6 months to 2 years of age. By embedding the learning of signs in activites that promote cognitive, social, language, literacy, and sensory-motor develoment more generally, we are able to teach parents specific ways to provide the support in these areas that all babies need to make the most of ther critical first three years.
Each class is approximately 45 minutes in length and each week will introduce a new theme. Within that theme you will learn 6-7 signs. The stimulating activities, songs, play, and information introduced will all support learning the signs. Each week you will receive a handout that explains that weeks Baby Signs® and Baby Minds® Tips given about language and cognitive development along with the signs learned and words to the songs taught.
