How old should my child be to attend Sign-a-Song?

Considering that we begin to talk with our children from day one, there is really no specific time to begin signing with your child. According to studies, a child around 6 months has adequate memory and cognition available to recognize signs. At around 8 months their dexterity is sufficiently developed to produce them. At Sign-a-Song children typically range from as young as 3 months to as old as 3 years.

What will be taught at Sign-a-Song?

Each week we will focus on a specific theme related to your baby’s experiences (food, animals, transportation, to name a few) and sing songs that relate to those themes.

What type of music do you sing at Sign-a-Song?

Is each 10 week class the same?

During each 10 week session we introduce new songs and new themes. Of course there is some overlap for our more popular tunes. As a new or returning family, you would feel equally comfortable in any of our classes.
