to stretching and core exercises, so you’ll also
have a chance to work flexibility and balance.
Class size is small so you'll get individual

class on Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New

and activities developed to engage very young
children and their parents. Research has shown
that using American Sign Language with hearing
babies and toddlers allows communication and
spoken language to happen earlier and faster,
while reducing frustration and tantrums. Most
children have two to three words by 12 months,
whereas Signing Smart® children typically have
25 signs and 16 words! Most children start
combining words into two-word sentences by
20 months, whereas Signing Smart® children
typically do this by 11-14 months and some as
early as six months! The National Institute of
Health even found a 12-point IQ increase for
eight year-olds who used signs as young children.
