Give your child a head start in language development

We, together with leading experts believe the benefits of signing with your baby are significant.  Research is ongoing into the effect of baby signing on the development of a baby’s brain.  In the first years of a babies life, the brain is wiring itself through the baby's experiences.  Whilst using signs, parents say the word for the sign, and babies tends to make a better language connection between the sign and the word.  Many experts agree that this stimulates brain development and enhances the building of the brain circuitry.

Babies can come to stage 1 & 2 classes any time from newborn until about 2 years old, or until you can understand and communicate with your toddler.  From around 6 months children become increasingly receptive to language.  You can start using some key signs from this age.  Your baby will start to use these signs when he is ready and in the meantime will have the added benefit of being signed to in the early months of his or her life.
