Benefits of signing with your baby
Stop guessing what your baby is trying to tell you and start spending more time fulfilling your child’s specific needs. Baby Sign Language gives parents the opportunity to communicate with children long before babies can verbalize their wants and needs. Research studies show that signing with babies accelerates language acquisition, reduces frustration and aggressive behavior, and as children mature, results in a greater interest in reading. Out of all the wonderful benefits of baby sign language, the most important benefit of all is that signing will greatly deepen the bond between you and your child.

Our program

This program is founded on more than three decades of evidence-based research and utilizes signs from American Sign Language (ASL). Classes are a fun-filled way to teach parents how to introduce sign language into their baby’s everyday routines through songs and interactive activities. Step 1 is a 90 minute Introductory Workshop where parents learn the basics before enrolling into our six-class playgroup series. Step 2 is our six-class series where you build your skills and signing vocabulary with themes like mealtime, animals, colors, family, bedtime, and more. To offer these classes, Then Comes Baby is pleased to partner with the esteemed Happy Baby Signs http://happybabysigns.com/, the leading Bay Area providers for ASL instruction for parents, toddlers, and the preschool set.
