Baby Signs is “on the grow” with new classes that cover topics and ages well beyond the focus of our traditional signing agenda. The new program, called On the Grow™, offers fun and exciting classes for parents and children (from birth to age 5) to enjoy together. Meet other families while discovering easy ways to make the most of your child’s earliest years, all in the context of delightful games, songs, and activities. Delivered by our own On the Grow™ Educators, these short, 45-minute classes go beyond signing to draw from Dr. Linda Acredolo and Dr. Susan Goodwyn’s other two best-selling parenting books, Baby Minds and Baby Hearts, with topics as diverse as “tummy time” for infants and nature themes for preschoolers.
